"House lawmakers revolted over passing DHS funding without funding for ICE and Border Patrol. Some members saw that as defunding law enforcement, Axios previously reported."
"The House passed a budget resolution on Wednesday night, starting the process to provide billions in new funding for immigration enforcement."
In early April, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune reached a two-track funding agreement. The first step involves passing regular appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), excluding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol, which are funded by a previous bill. The second step includes a party-line bill via budget reconciliation to secure additional funding for ICE and Border Patrol. House lawmakers expressed concerns about funding DHS without supporting law enforcement agencies, leading to a budget resolution aimed at increasing immigration enforcement funding.
