Sen. Ted Cruz,<\/a> R-Texas, is calling for Republicans to provide Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with enough funding to last a decade.<\/p>\n

He believes Republicans can do that without the support of a single Democrat.<\/p>\n

“We can do it with just 50 votes,” Cruz said.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers in the Senate agreed early on Friday to advance funding for DHS<\/a> that includes the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Coast Guard, the Secret Service and seven other agencies \u2014 even as gridlock over ICE remains firmly in place.<\/p>\n

Cruz believes that Democrat opposition to funding the agency will only continue, promoting the possibility of future shutdowns.<\/p>\n

“I think we may very well be in a world where these Senate Democrats<\/a> will never again vote to fund ICE, that they’re simply saying, \u2018shut down,\u2019” Cruz said.<\/p>\n

Like the rest of DHS, funding for ICE lapsed on February 14 when Democrats made their support for the agency conditional on a set of 10 operational reforms.<\/p>\n

Among other items, Democrats had called for a ban on masks for ICE agents, stiffer warrant requirements for apprehending suspects in public, a ban on roaming patrols and requirements for clearly visible identification \u2014 demands Republicans argued would handcuff Trump\u2019s immigration enforcement goals.<\/p>\n

Cruz believes Republicans can still advance funding without meeting any of those demands through a process called “reconciliation”<\/a> that would allow Republicans to get around a filibuster.<\/p>\n

“You need 60 votes to pass funding for the government. We only have 53 Republicans, and so we need at least seven Democrats. Reconciliation, which is how we passed the [Big Beautiful Bill] last year, we can do with just Republicans,” Cruz said.<\/p>\n

“And so, what I’ve argued to my colleagues is let’s take up reconciliation, and let’s fund ICE for the next decade, because the Democrats are going to vote against ICE funding for the foreseeable future, I think, potentially forever,” Cruz said.<\/p>\n

While lawmakers can\u2019t use that vehicle to change existing policies or set new ones, Cruz argues Republicans can certainly use it to add to ICE\u2019s existing provisions, putting the agency\u2019s funding beyond the influence of another shutdown.<\/p>\n

In some ways, it\u2019s a plan Republicans have already done once before.<\/p>\n

Republicans funded ICE to the tune of $75 billion last year through Trump\u2019s One Big Beautiful Bill. Cruz\u2019s plan would take the same principle and extend it. At levels from 2025, base funding ICE and its removal operations<\/a> for 10 years would cost roughly $100 billion.<\/p>\n

Cruz believes passing those appropriations is consistent with the mandate Republicans received when they won over a governing trifecta in the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n

SENATE REPUBLICANS MOVE TO REOPEN DHS WITH NEW PLAN, WAIT FOR DEMOCRATIC BUY-IN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“The American people said, enough. President Trump and Republican Congress have an incredible record of success on securing the border.<\/a> We have seen illegal border crossings drop 99%. We’ve seen the murder rate across the country drop 20%. We’ve seen the drug overdose rate nationally drop 20%.<\/p>\n

“It is literally the case that there are thousands of Americans alive today because President Trump was reelected, and because we have a Republican House and Senate.”<\/p>\n

Having cleared the Senate, the non-ICE DHS funding package now heads to the House<\/a> for a vote, where it must clear the chamber before heading to Trump\u2019s desk for his signature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
