House passes Senate-backed DHS funding bill, ending partial shutdown
The House approved the Senate-backed Department of Homeland Security funding bill by voice vote and sent it to the president for signature, ending a 76-day partial DHS shutdown once signed. The package funds most DHS components, including FEMA, TSA, CISA, and the Coast Guard, while excluding funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and parts of Customs and Border Protection. Restoring funding restarts pay and operations for disaster response, airport security, and cyber defense, but the ICE and CBP carve-outs guarantee immigration policy fights will continue in upcoming negotiations.
A win! Thank you for always making your voices heard. The House passed a DHS funding bill by voice vote this afternoon, ending a 75-day shutdown the longest agency shutdown in U.S. history. The GOP caved. The bill funds DHS but includes no money for ICE or Customs and Border Protection.
The Potty Mouth Pundit18Yes! The ICE reforms that Dems are asking for are common sense! The GOP simply doesn’t want to risk upsetting Dear Leader! Keep digging your heels in, Dems - methinks the GOP is on a collision course with a midterms disaster and beyond if they can’t locate their fucking spines!
Row Jimmy16Trump does not have the political capital with congressional Republicans that he had two months ago. They are finally starting to see he’s a liability.
Velvet Vixen ♡11Great news! So glad to see progress on this. 🎉
kenofseattle10The DHS funding bill passed without a single dollar for ICE.
Carol Johnson8Voice vote because no GOP want to be on record?
Claude the Irregular Dragon (TM)7That's why Democrats gotta "hold fast" and give them nothing!
Jason M Ernst6DHS & ICE don’t need anymore money. They’re already loaded.
The Captain4A huge win at that. When Democrats use their political power instead of just laying down they can have big wins.
The Mighty Jungle💙💛2Small point: I'd like to suggest that when we win, we don't say the other side "caved." I knew a prominent conservationist years ago who advised to always catch the opposition in the act of doing something right. And then praise them in some way. That way you're not putting them down.
BlueColumbine2Meanwhile, the Farm Bill will be causing people to starve.
Leefeller2A bit of good news, if one is not a Nazi?
House passes the Senate-approved DHS funding bill by a voice vote. It funds everything in DHS except ICE/CBP, including TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, CISA. This ends a 75-day shutdown. Bill now goes to Trump to become law. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
michigancheated.bsky.social81Remember when trump promised to not sign a single bill until the Save Act becomes law?
David Harris39So a complete cave from the GOP, since that’s for sure what the framing would be if this went down the other way around.
Dragonlord Freya10Only a start. All of DHS needs to be shut down. They are absolutely part of the assaults on our citizens and our rights
jakerome.bsky.social8Good job @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. You absolutely thrashed the House GOP and its titular leader.
Liz G4They are planning to try to get ICE/CPB funding through a reconciliation bill to bypass the Dems… it’s not over…
JimmyV 🦋4We would all appreciate MORE "leftist" (🤣) media coverage of this major fail by Maga-Mike. He dragged his feet for 4 weeks, bringing hardship on TSA and air travelers alike. Minimal media coverage of Maga-Mike and Trump abandoning their shutdown position!
Karl3I'm certain that Trump will be screaming through the night. We need our non-white immigrant friends.
🩸🦇 Hearth Holmes 🦇🩸3Good. Now ABOLISH ICE @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org WE DID NOT SAY REFORM.
El Sargento García2Didn’t ICE get billions in funds already?
🚨🚨The DHS shutdown is OVER. By voice vote, the House has just approved a Senate-passed DHS funding bill, which funds everything at DHS (TSA, FEMA, etc.) except for ICE and the Border Patrol. The House initially refused to approve this plan 35 days ago.
maraleia21They did this because the House passed the ICE and Border Patrol funding yesterday Jamie. Why are you leaving that out?
Sally K4Whew, glad (& pleasantly surprised) to learn that ICE & Border Patrol stayed out of the funding bill. Interesting that it was just a voice vote. I may send an email to my House GOP Rep directly asking if she voted for or against it. The GOP can't seem to understand they can't hide from us anymore.
Jack Crawford2The orange dumbass may veto it. Stay tuned.
