US Senate passes funding package for Homeland Security that excludes ICE

The Senate passed a Homeland Security funding bill that finances most DHS agencies—including the TSA and Coast Guard—while withholding funds from ICE and portions of Customs and Border Protection. The measure, backed by Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, represents a selective funding approach that defunds immigration enforcement while keeping airport security and other core DHS operations open. The bill still requires House approval before any of the funded agencies can resume operations after the shutdown. The funding split reflects ongoing congressional divisions over immigration policy, with Democrats using the appropriations process to restrict ICE's resources. The House's next move will determine whether the Senate package advances or faces renegotiation.
