Senate takes key step toward funding ICE and border patrol with only GOP votes. The GOP effort tofundImmigration and Customs Enforcement andborder patrolwithout any Democratic
Senator, if Senate Democrats aren’t lining up to rubber‑stamp more money for ICE and CBP, that’s not some mystery. That’s them doing the job their voters sent them to do. They’re representing the will of the people; not the will of whatever orange clown car of chaos keeps demanding blank checks with no accountability. You don’t get to call it ‘refusing to fund security’ when what they’re actually refusing is waste, cruelty, and political theater.

Correspondents' dinner shooting rekindles DHS funding fight: What to know. The shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner has renewed calls from Republicans to fund the Department of Homeland Security, which has been shut down for 73 days over intense political gridlock
It is still shut down because Republicans won't agree to reasonable rules and regulations pertaining to ICE and CBP-rules every other law enforcement agency has to follow.
The fact that DHS is not fully funded falls on YOU, Amodei. You’re the DHS appropriations subcommittee chair and you refuse to deliver a bill to the Senate with common sense restrictions on ICE. This post is literally pointing the finger at yourself.
Senate advances GOP budget blueprint to boost ICE and Border Patrol funding
Dems were willing to fund DHS all along. They simply wanted ICE to follow the same best practices required of all other law enforcement agencies to protect Americans. Why don't Republicans want to protect Americans?

Democrats in Congress do not want to fund ICE & the Border Patrol. Why? For open borders & to keep illegal immigrants in the U.S.? If so Democrats have a huge problem this November.
Is DHS still shut down? What to know about partial government shutdown. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security remains shut down Wednesday, April 29, and it's unclear when it may end after House Speaker Mike Johnson floated changes to an already approved Senate bill that would fund all of the department except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol
Nope. Secret Service IS truly amazing and their service deserves to be commended but the rest of her speech is bunk. DHS *IS* funded. GOP just wants additional funding. Previous ICE budgets were ~$6 billion, the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act gave DHS $85 billion (!!) to fund it through September 30, 2029. What is outstanding now is its base budget of around $10 billion. So they still have a TON of money to spend. Also. Dems *are* willing to fund DHS and Border Patrol — as long as common sense rules are put in place to govern their future conduct: —mandatory body cameras —removing masks for identification —restricting operations at "sensitive locations" (schools, hospitals) —requiring judicial warrants —prohibiting racial profiling

Is DHS still shut down? When does Congress vote on funding next?. Then, the House passed its own stopgap funding bill for the agency on March 27 largely along party lines, 213-203. The legislation was already "dead on arrival," without Democratic support, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, declared earlier in the day
I think we can say Congress has shut down DHS for 74 days but it’s both of your jobs to negotiate to reopen it. Not just one side, especially when you are the side who has the majority in both chambers.

Hill GOP braces for 'nightmare week' as pressure mounts to end DHS funding standoff. Top Republicans on Capitol Hill have spent 10 weeks struggling to end the bitter stalemate over funding for the Department of Homeland Security
This cuts through the noise and makes a simple point. When threats are rising and violence is real, refusing to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security is not strategy, it is negligence, and the country pays the price for that kind of political brinkmanship.
DHS funding is running out. Will the House save the day?. Congress still hasn't passed funding for the Department of Homeland Security, and the emergency funds used to pay DHS staffers are set to run out by early next month. As you probably remember, the last time TSA agents stopped getting paid,

You don’t get to call it ‘refusing to fund security’ when what they’re actually refusing is waste, cruelty, and political theater.
If the democrats do not want to fund Ice to protect Americans then we should take away their security details as it funded by DHS. Let them pay for their own security details since we the taxpayers are paying for their details. Fully fund DHS now. I feel safer with ICE then democrats.

If the border isn’t secure with the wall Mexico was going to pay for, and ICE rounding up all the criminals, sounds like a Trump problem to me.
