Trump backs narrowly targeted DHS funding via reconciliation to fund ICE and CBP

Trump signaled support for a narrowly focused budget reconciliation bill to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and parts of Border Patrol for the rest of his presidency, bolstering Senate Republicans’ push to bypass a filibuster amid a Homeland Security funding impasse. Lindsey Graham and John Barrasso are drafting the measure, with a potential floor vote the week of April 20 and a June 1 deadline, while House conservatives push to limit or broaden the package.
