S. Con. Res. 33 cleared the Senate as the first reconciliation step to restore funding for immigration enforcement agencies left out after the government reopened.
A 76-day shutdown ended, but partisan policy disputes still left ICE and CBP unfunded even after broader DHS spending reached President Trump and was signed into law.
House passage without changes is now the key hurdle; leaders say amendments would force the measure back to the Senate, risking delays and missing a June 1 target for Trump to sign it.
The push comes amid renewed criticism of public-safety failures, with supporters arguing prolonged gaps in DHS funding weakened border security and strained law enforcement pay during a period of heightened risk.
