GOP eyes DHS deal funding ICE probes, but not removals, as shutdown drags
The plan would fund ICE investigations but leave enforcement and removal programs unfunded
 By Chad Pergram Fox News
Published March 24, 2026 10:19am EDT

This is cobbled together talking to senior Senate Republican sources.

Senate Republicans are developing a plan to fund most aspects of DHS — leaving out controversial programs like certain ICE operations — to end the five-and-a-half week partial government shutdown. This emerged after a meeting at the White House last night. There is a lot to sort out at the GOP Conference luncheon at the Capitol today.

However, Fox is told that the Senate could start to move forward on a plan to end the DHS shutdown "as early as tonight."

The new plan would fund ICE investigations — like cartels, traffickers and child predators. But they will leave unfunded programs for "enforcement and removal."

Ironically, this idea would mirror what Democrats have tried to do on multiple occasions. Democrats have asked unanimous consent on the floor to pass bills to fund DHS — sans ICE.

So, Republicans have come around to the position that this is the only way out of this cul-de-sac — even if it reflects the Democratic position.

Still, Republicans contend they are "calling the Democrats bluff."

"We’re going to have to move forward and give them what they want," said one Senate Republican source, referring to the Democrats.

The point was to wait until the Republicans caved.

What's the point of being a 'Nation of Laws' if the laws are irrelevent?

If laws are no longer relevant, why the hell do we need a Legislative Branch and a Judicial Branch?  One writes laws of no value and the other interprets or applies laws of no value.

That's a lot of wasteful taxpayer-funded nothingness.

The DHS deal under consideration would fund all of DHS except for ICE's deportation wing, known as ERO (Enforcement & Removal Operations). Those are the frontline ICE agents you see.

ICE has two major branches, ERO and HSI (Homeland Security Investigations). HSI typically focuses on human trafficking, sex trafficking, human smuggling etc. though the Trump administration has been using them for immigration enforcement as well.

It sounds like HSI would be funded under this deal, but ERO would not. (ERO is funded with OBBB money through 2029, but their civilian support staff are not.)

Democrats would not get the major reforms they had been demanding (unmasking, judicial warrants, etc) as part of this deal.

Thoughts?
