Senate Republicans Pass Budget, Laying Groundwork for ICE Funding Without Democratic Support
The US Senate has adopted a Republican budget plan, which sets the stage for funding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency without the involvement of Democrats. The bill was passed by the Senate on Tuesday.
According to reports, the budget plan includes provisions that would allow Republicans to fund ICE and reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without Democratic support. This move is seen as a significant step towards achieving Republican goals in the area of immigration policy.
The Senate’s decision comes ahead of the mid-term elections, with some lawmakers predicting that Democrats will shut down the government “right before the midterms.” However, no official statement has been made by the White House or Democratic leaders regarding their stance on this issue.
The budget plan is now expected to be sent to the House of Representatives for consideration. If passed, it would pave the way for Republicans to fund ICE and reopen DHS without Democratic support.
In related news, Senate Republicans have cleared a key hurdle in their bid to fund two immigration agencies. The move marks an important step towards achieving Republican goals in this area.

The outcome of the bill’s passage is uncertain at this time.
