Senate unanimously moves to fund most of DHS, except ICE and border patrol, in rare overnight session - CNN

The Senate unanimously approved funding for most Department of Homeland Security operations in an overnight session while excluding appropriations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol. The move represents a rare consensus moment in a chamber typically divided along partisan lines, though the exclusion of two major enforcement agencies signals underlying disagreement over immigration policy priorities. By funding DHS agencies selectively, lawmakers have effectively pressured ICE and border patrol operations while keeping other homeland security functions operational. The overnight session underscores the compressed timeline Congress faces to prevent funding lapses before key deadlines. The vote leaves open questions about whether ICE and border patrol will receive separate funding or face continued uncertainty.
