Senate blocks DHS funding bill for third time as Democrats demand ICE reforms

The Senate voted 51-45 on a cloture motion to proceed to H.R. 7744, the DHS Appropriations Act — falling short of the 60-vote threshold needed to advance. This was the third time the bill failed in the Senate. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was the only Democrat to vote yes. Democrats are holding firm on demands for ICE reforms including body cameras, identification requirements, a ban on masks during operations, and judicial warrants for arrests on private property.
