Event Summary

The United States Republicans voted 50-48 to advance a $70 billion plan to fund the United States — United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and United States — United States Border Patrol agencies for the next three years. This move aims to end a partial shutdown of the United States — United States Department of Homeland Security that began in mid-February. The United States — Republican Party (United States) plans to use budget reconciliation to bypass opposition from the United States — Democratic Party (United States), who demand guardrails on immigration enforcement agents, especially after two U.S. citizens were fatally shot in Minneapolis. The funding is expected to run through Donald Trump's presidency, ending in January 2029. The vote followed a nearly six-hour 'vote-a-rama' where the United States — Democratic Party (United States) attempted to introduce amendments on healthcare and other social issues, which largely failed. Senators Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski were the only Republicans to oppose the measure. The resolution now moves to the United States — United States House of Representatives for further consideration.
