🚨 BREAKING: The Senate just gaveled in for session, and Majority Leader John Thune has reintroduced the same bill the House previously rejected.
That bill funds most of DHS, but does not provide full funding for CBP or ICE.
THE PLAN - Pass this version quickly through regular appropriations, then use budget reconciliation to fund ICE and Border Patrol.
THE PROBLEM - Reconciliation is expected to drag on until June 1. ICE and CBP agents might NOT see full paychecks until then.
Unbelievable...
