MUST WATCH: Senate Republicans Move to Lock in Full ICE and CBP Funding for Trump’s Entire Term by Bypassing Democrats Entirely

Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso discusses Republican plans to address a potential DHS shutdown during a live broadcast from Capitol Hill.

Senate Republicans are advancing a plan to fully fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for the remainder of President Donald Trump’s term through budget reconciliation, a move that would require only a simple majority of 50 Republican votes plus Vice President JD Vance.

This means funding for the agencies will become immune to Democrat filibusters or shutdown threats.

The announcement came Thursday from Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, who confirmed he and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham will meet with President Trump at the White House on Friday to finalize the framework.

Barrasso told Fox News, “I’ll be at the White House with Lindsey Graham…we’re going to be talking with the president specifically about funding ICE, Immigration Custom Enforcement, funding the Department of Homeland Security’s Border Patrol, and doing it not just for this year, but through the entire time that President Trump is still in the White House, and doing it with Republican votes alone.”

WATCH:

The plan uses the budget reconciliation process, which allows certain fiscal measures to pass with 51 votes in the Senate (or 50 plus the vice president) and bypass the 60-vote filibuster threshold.

Republicans aim to narrowly target funding for immigration enforcement agencies, as there are ongoing disputes over the broader Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding package.

The move follows weeks of deadlock over DHS appropriations from Democrats.

A partial DHS shutdown has dragged on for nearly two months, with Democrats refusing to support full funding for ICE and CBP without concessions on immigration policy.

Senate Republicans have repeatedly blocked Democrat attempts to fund most of DHS while excluding or limiting enforcement operations.

Barrasso emphasized that Democrats “aren’t interested in funding national security,” forcing Republicans to “go it alone” through reconciliation.

The plan would secure long-term funding for deportations, border security, and interior enforcement, which are all priorities of the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda.

Barrasso did not specify a timeline for a floor vote, but GOP leaders will likely move quickly after the White House meeting.

The Gateway Pundit will continue tracking developments from the Senate Budget Committee and the White House.

Eric Swalwell is DONE. Out of the California governor’s race in a stunning collapse. But that’s not enough. Not even close. I’m calling for his immediate expulsion from Congress.

Because the real story is just beginning.

A mysterious video. Swalwell. An alleged sex worker. And a shadowy man no one can identify… yet. Who is he? Why was he there? And why does no one in the media seem interested in asking the obvious questions?

We are.

The hunt is on and what we’re uncovering could blow this wide open.

And then there’s the Catholic Church. Once a pillar of moral clarity. Now? Three archbishops and the Pope attacking Donald Trump, condemning deportations, and weighing in on war with Iran. Since when did the Church abandon law, order, and common sense?

Trump Welcomes Door Dasher to Oval Office to Highlight ‘No Tax on Tips’ (Video)

On Monday, President Trump ordered DoorDash to the Oval Office to highlight his ‘No Tax on Tips’ policy as part of the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

DoorDash driver Sharon Simmons, AKA, “DoorDash Grandma” delivered McDonald’s to the Oval Office during the President’s surprise remarks to celebrate Simmons’ tax refund as a result of the bill.

On July 4th, 2025, President Trump made history by signing the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” delivering what many politicians have promised but never achieved: true tax relief for the middle class.

White House projections suggest a family of four could save between $10,000 and $13,300. A distributional analysis by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the bill provides over $600 billion in middle-class tax relief, with the largest proportional benefits going to households earning under $50,000.

This benefits approximately 4 million workers in jobs like waitressing, barbering, hairstyling, and taxi driving. Additionally, the bill increases income for more than 80 million hourly workers by up to $1,750 by eliminating income taxes on the overtime pay premium.

President Trump noted, “The reason for this is the fact that I heard you picked up an extra $11,000 that you didn’t think you’d get because the tax bill was so big, the refund was the biggest you’ve ever had, is that a correct statement?”

Simmons responded, “It definitely was. I saved over $11,000 by not having to claim.”

The President asked, “Was that surprising to you, actually?”

She replied, “It was very surprising.”

Watch:

In July 2025, the grandmother of 10, who has completed more than 12,000 deliveries, testified before the House Ways and Means Committee at a field hearing in Las Vegas on pro-worker tax relief.

She shared how the policy (which includes Dashers and other delivery drivers) would let her keep hundreds to thousands of extra dollars annually from tips/earnings.

She said during the hearing,“That’s why I’m very excited that Congress took action to include Dashers and other independent contractors in the No Tax on Tips.”

“For someone like me, that means hundreds or potentially thousands of dollars that stay in my pocket every year.”

“I plan to use these tax savings to cover follow-up medical visits for my husband and to travel to Missouri to see my mom, my kids, and my grandchildren.”

The FBI on Monday morning raided the home of the 20-year-old suspect accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman’s home.

The 20-year-old suspect, identified as Daniel Moreno-Gama, threw a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s San Francisco home last Friday morning.

Moreno-Gama was taken into custody last week.

Nobody was hurt.

According to OpenAI, Moreno-Gama also made threats outside of its San Francisco headquarters very early Friday morning.

The FBI raided Moreno-Gama’s Texas home on Monday morning.

According to Fox News, Moreno-Gama had a manifesto document on him at the time of his arrest.

The manifesto had a list of other AI CEOs and their investors with their names and addresses, according to Fox.

Federal charges against Moreno-Gama will be filed today.

Fox News is also reported that Moreno-Gama’s attack was driven by “anti-AI views.”

Per Fox News reporter Brooke Taylor:

Sources tell me Daniel Moreno-Gama traveled from his home in Texas to San Francisco to try and kill Altman.

He was found with a manifesto document on him when he was arrested, expressing his strong views against AI and also had a list of other Ai CEOs and investors with their names and addresses. Fox is told federal charges will be filed this afternoon.
