Senate Majority Leader John Thune moved to start the budget reconciliation process to fund ICE and CBP despite personal preferences.
President Trump is urging Congressional Republicans to use the budget reconciliation process to fund ICE and CBP, bypassing a Democratic filibuster during a partial DHS shutdown.
The Daily Signal frames Senator Thune’s reconciliation push as a necessary move to fund border security that Democrats oppose, while RawStory highlights internal friction between Thune and House leadership over the plan's details. Most outlets, including Reuters and AP News, focus on the procedural "marathon" required to bypass the DHS shutdown, noting Thune’s description of the maneuver as a "necessary reality."
