The talks came after Democrats blocked a procedural vote earlier in the day, despite Republicans holding a Senate majority. Democrats had refused to support the full package unless DHS funding — which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — was removed. “The separation of the five bipartisan bills the Democrats asked for plus the two-week DHS continuing resolution has been agreed to,” Schumer said in a statement. Democrats had vowed for days to oppose DHS funding amid controversy surrounding federal immigration enforcement, effectively holding broader government funding hostage to their demands. The two-week DHS extension now sets up another funding fight in early February.
