Senate Funds Most DHS Agencies Overnight, ICE and Border Patrol Excluded
TL;DR
In a rare overnight session, the Senate unanimously approved funding for most Department of Homeland Security components (including TSA and the Coast Guard), but left ICE and a portion of CBP unfunded, meaning the House must act before those agencies can reopen. Leaders said they’d fund as much as possible tonight and complete the rest later, while Trump directed DHS to pay TSA workers even if the department remains unfunded.
