A funding package failed to reach the 60 votes it needed to pass a Senate procedural vote on Thursday, with a 46 to 54 vote. Democrats are threatening to derail the bills unless the DHS funding includes new guardrails for immigration enforcement. Any changes to the legislation in the Senate would require a House vote to concur. Why are Democrats fighting DHS funding? Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has demanded the Senate majority leader separate a DHS funding bill from the budget package.
