US Senate Republicans Aim to Reopen Homeland Security
Senate Republicans proposed a new plan to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security. The plan would leave ICE enforcement without funding.
Democrats want ICE to stay unfunded until it is changed. Republicans believe the plan would reopen the agency.
Reopening the Department of Homeland Security would end long airport delays.
Klear Note — The Department of Homeland Security handles airport security and immigration enforcement. When unfunded, agencies shut down, causing airport delays and service disruptions.
