Senate GOP advances $70B DHS funding for ICE and Border Patrol over three years
TL;DR Summary
Senate Republicans voted 50-48 to advance a $70 billion, three-year funding package for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol using budget reconciliation, sending it to the House; Democrats seek guardrails on enforcement. If enacted, the funding would run through January 2029, and committees would craft the details in separate bills, while the House has stalled on DHS funding overall. Collins supported the move, King opposed, with two Republicans voting against.
