Senate passes 71-29 spending deal separating DHS funding for ICE reform negotiations

The Senate approved a spending package 71 to 29 on January 30, 2026, separating DHS funding from the broader bill to allow a two-week negotiating window for ICE reform provisions. Senate Democrats demanded three categories of reform: judicial warrant requirements for ICE home entry, an end to roving patrol stops, and body camera mandates for ICE and CBP agents. The House-passed version included $20 million for cameras but did not mandate their use. A partial shutdown began at midnight when the House and Senate failed to resolve differences before the deadline.
