Senate Approves DHS Budget, Keeps ICE Funding On Hold
TL;DR Summary
The Senate approved a funding package to cover most DHS components—financing TSA and the Coast Guard—while withholding money for ICE and part of CBP; the House must act before agencies can reopen. The vote was by voice in an overnight session. Trump has threatened executive action to pay airport security workers, while Democrats demand immigration-rule changes (Save America Act), delaying DHS funding. DHS has been unfunded since Feb. 13, leaving TSA personnel unpaid and absences high at airports.
