Senate debates DHS funding package amid partisan clash over ICE and Border Patrol
The Senate held a late-night debate and vote-a-rama on a border funding package to fund ICE and CBP for the remainder of Trump's term. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer argued Republicans should focus on cost of living instead, saying nobody respects ICE and Border Patrol. DHS has been in a partial shutdown for nearly 70 days due to Democrats refusing to fund the two agencies over Trump's immigration enforcement policies.
