New DHS Deal Floated to Reopen Department Now While Leaving ICE Detention and Deportation Unfunded as GOP Moves Toward ICE Reconciliation Plan

Senate negotiators have floated a compromise to immediately reopen most of DHS by restoring roughly 94% of its budget — funding TSA, FEMA, CBP and ICE investigative teams like HSI — while withholding about $5.5 billion for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations and attaching new limits (body cameras, visible IDs and restrictions on certain enforcement activities). Republicans propose funding the carved‑out ICE detention and deportation programs later via budget reconciliation (and have discussed tying some SAVE America provisions to future action), but the plan has drawn bipartisan pushback and faces uncertain prospects as unpaid TSA staff and worsening airport disruptions increase pressure for a deal.
