DHS Funding Deal: Separate Tracks for ICE, Border Patrol
Description
Government Shutdown Ends: DHS Funding Deal Reached, Enforcement Funding on the Way
The longest government shutdown in history is set to conclude as Republicans in Congress propose a bipartisan deal to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol. The House is expected to pass the Senate bill, and separate long-term cash for ICE and Border Patrol will be fast-tracked through reconciliation. Democrats are not blocking the deal, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer attributing the Republican caving to infighting. The shutdown, which caused widespread disruptions and left big Democratic asks unaddressed, will be ended, and DHS operations will resume. Enforcement funding is expected to be available by June first.
