Senate Republicans race to fund ICE, CBP without Democrats as shutdown drags Senate Republicans are planning to use the budget reconciliation process to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) without Democratic support. This strategy aims to bypass the ongoing partial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown. President Trump has endorsed this plan, urging Republicans to unify and pass the legislation by June 1st.
