The United States Senate has passed a bill to fund a large portion of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), while excluding ICE and some border protection services from the budget.
According to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, this agreement allows for continued funding of several essential agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard.
The DHS has been partially shut down since February 13, due to persistent political disagreements over migration policy.
Democrats have conditioned their budget support on reforms to immigration enforcement, particularly targeting detention and deportation practices.
The exclusion of ICE from funding reflects these tensions, as this agency is at the heart of criticism over the management of immigration in the United States.
This budget compromise aims to avoid a total paralysis of the DHS, while maintaining pressure on the ongoing political negotiations.
It highlights the deep divisions in Congress on the issue of immigration.
This decision could have concrete consequences for the control and expulsion operations carried out by the federal authorities.
She also highlights the major political issues surrounding homeland security and immigration in the United States.
Discussions should continue to find a comprehensive agreement on financing and reforming the migration system.
