US EditionDemocrats say White House offer on ICE is ‘insufficient’ as Homeland Security funding set to expire
Democrats demand 10 ICE reforms including judicial warrants and body cameras, calling the White House counterproposal insufficient as DHS funding nears expiration Friday.
- With five days left, Congress is considering carving out parts of the DHS budget to isolate ICE and Border Patrol reforms, lawmakers say.
- Democrats pushed for a two-week continuing resolution to prod talks on DHS as intense partisan and intra-party disagreements prompted splitting the DHS bill into smaller agency pieces.
- Lawmakers say noncontroversial DHS functions like FEMA, TSA, and the U.S. Coast Guard could be funded separately, while CBP and ICE have leftover funds from the Big Beautiful Bill.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to bring the SAVE Act to a vote this week, but Senate Democrats say they will likely filibuster, creating uncertainty in the Senate.
- Carving out sub-agency funding is uncommon and could be procedurally tricky, though Sen. Tim Kaine said he will wait to see Republican moves as lawmakers seek off-ramp options for DHS funding.
