Senate passes $70 billion budget resolution to fund ICE and Border Patrol via reconciliation amid DHS shutdown
The US Senate voted 50-48 early Thursday to advance a budget resolution that would fund ICE and Customs and Border Protection through budget reconciliation, bypassing the 60-vote filibuster threshold. The Department of Homeland Security has been partially shut down since mid-February after Democrats demanded policy changes following the fatal shootings of two protesters by federal agents in Minneapolis. The measure now moves to the House, where passage is uncertain as some Republicans want broader DHS funding beyond just ICE and CBP.
