- Senate Republicans pass $70 billion funding for ICE and CBP — Senate Republicans passed a measure providing approximately $70 billion in additional funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) without addressing Democratic demands for reforms following violent enforcement actions. This funding is part of a larger budget reconciliation measure that significantly increases the budgets of these agencies, potentially limiting future reform efforts. The funding is set to last through the remainder of Trump's term, complicating oversight and accountability.
- Senate Republicans passed $70 billion supplemental funding for ICE and CBP without Democratic reform conditions — In the early morning hours of Friday, Senate Republicans passed a budget reconciliation measure providing approximately $70 billion in additional funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, the parent agency of Border Patrol. This action occurred without addressing any of the Democratic demands for reforms to ICE and Border Patrol operations that had been made following violent sweeps resulting in the deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Republicans used the budget reconciliation process to bypass a potential Democratic filibuster and secure passage with a simple majority.
