GOP pushes framework to fund ICE and CBP through Trump’s term

Senate Republicans released a budget resolution to fully fund ICE and CBP through the end of President Donald Trump’s term, aiming to do so without Democratic votes and directing the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Judiciary committees to draft final immigration-enforcement bills with a $70 billion cap per committee. Democrats condemned the move as a blank check that would prolong the DHS shutdown without reforms, as lawmakers race toward a June deadline while past efforts to fund DHS excluding ICE/CBP have failed and a House stopgap extended DHS funding through May 22.
