Senate rejects DHS funding bill a fifth time - Politico

The Senate rejected a Department of Homeland Security funding bill for the fifth time, stalling efforts to keep the agency operating past its current funding deadline. The repeated failures suggest deep divisions within the chamber over DHS appropriations, likely tied to broader disagreements on immigration enforcement or other departmental priorities. Continued rejection risks forcing the Trump administration to navigate a partial government shutdown or seek emergency funding measures to maintain DHS operations. The impasse reflects the difficulty of securing consensus on border security and immigration policy even within a single chamber. Without a resolution, federal agencies under DHS jurisdiction—including Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement—could face operational disruptions.
