The Senate can dodge the filibuster and fund ICE and Border Patrol separately now with only a simple majority.
 
And suddenly in a breathtaking yet completely expected flip-flop from last year....the MAGA turds are celebrating more government employees? Last year when DOGE was firing everyone you guys were so elated!

I wish you guys would pick a position and stick with it. I guess that’s sort of difficult when your cult leader can’t do it either.
 
The House voted to end the shutdown by approving the Senate bill. ICE and Border Patrol are not included.

ICE was paid for several years in the BBB previously. I don't know about Border Patrol.

EDIT: Note this part - they will add those in via reconcilation:
It does not include funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and parts of Customs and Border Protection, two DHS subagencies tasked with immigration enforcement. Lawmakers are attempting to fully fund ICE and CBP via a procedural tool known as budget reconciliation, which sets a 50-vote threshold in the Senate for spending measures, as opposed to the 60 votes often required to overcome a filibuster in the chamber.
