Senate passes budget resolution to fund DHS immigration agencies in 50-48 vote
The Senate passed a budget resolution early Thursday morning in a 50-48 vote to fund ICE and CBP through 2029, part of an effort to end the two-month DHS shutdown. Senators Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski were the two Republicans who voted against the resolution. The resolution now moves to the House, where its fate remains uncertain.
