GOP, Democrats Remain Far Apart on DHS Funding Agreement
Congress aims to prevent a shutdown by isolating contentious ICE and Border Patrol reforms, while maintaining funding for other DHS components, lawmakers say.
- 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.
