- Senate GOP rams through blueprint to bankroll ICE, Border Patrol through end of Trump era
Senate Republicans passed a budget blueprint to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol with $140 billion through the end of Trump's term, bypassing Democratic opposition. The move uses the budget reconciliation process after Democrats refused to fund ICE and CBP without reforms, with key senators like Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski voting against it.
