Why it matters: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is already $1 billion over budget by one estimate, with more than three months left in the fiscal year. That’s alarmed lawmakers in both parties — and raised the possibility of Trump clawing funds from agencies to feed ICE.
Yea, I think you are correct. The BBB will be voted on July 4th, not the budget. I had my facts backward. That said, I still don’t anticipate a lot of DHS pushback. Although I hope congress does change it considerably. It’s a mess as is.
I don’t expect DHS pushback (policy wise), but I do suspect they won’t get all the money Trump was asking for.
There is also a lot of belief that the BBB won’t get settled before July 4th. Given that it’s still getting passed back and forth between the house and senate and they only have next week.
