The Senate passed a federal budget on Friday, funding all departments except the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which received a two-week extension for negotiations on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reforms. The vote was 71-29, but DHS remains unfunded until the House approves the stopgap bill on Monday. This development followed Senate Democrats’ unanimous decision to withhold funding due to ICE’s controversial practices after a federal agent’s involvement in the death of a protester. Polling indicates voter support for the Democrats’ stance, suggesting potential blame on Republicans if a shutdown occurs.
