Senate votes to fund much of DHS, minus immigration enforcement
The Senate approved a bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, early Friday, excluding funding for ICE.
Summary
On March 27, 2026, the Senate approved a bill to allocate funding for the majority of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
This legislation is significant as it does not include provisions for the funding of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which may impact operational capacity.
The exclusion of ICE funding raises questions about the future direction of immigration enforcement and its implications for resource allocation within DHS.
