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


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.”

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.

Philly DA Larry Krasner Threatens to Handcuff and Jail ICE Agents Working at Philadelphia Airport: ‘The President Cannot Pardon You!’ (VIDEO)


Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner threatened to arrest and prosecute federal ICE agents working at Philadelphia International Airport on Tuesday.
Krasner held a press conference at the airport as ICE agents arrived to assist overwhelmed Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers.
The deployment was ordered by President Trump to help ease long security lines and flight delays caused by severe staffing shortages at TSA checkpoints.
The partial government shutdown, caused by Democrats refusing to budge on DHS funding, is now in its 39th day. It has left TSA officers working without pay, and reports of 3,200 agents not showing up for their shifts on Monday alone, and another 458 who recently quit.
During his remarks, Krasner told reporters and the agents on site that he expects them to uphold the law while operating in Philadelphia.
“This is how it works — you commit crimes within the jurisdiction that is the city and county of Philadelphia, I prosecute you,” Krasner said. “That is how it works. No, I don’t take a phone call from the president saying ‘Let em go.’ No, the president cannot pardon you. I’ll say it again, the president cannot pardon you.”
Krasner escalated by bringing up the chaos caused by leftist agitators in Minneapolis, which resulted in two of them being killed during confrontations with agents.
“And yes, I will put you in handcuffs, and I will put you in a courtroom, and if necessary, I will put you in a jail cell if you decide to make the terrazzo floor of this floor anything like you did in the streets of Minneapolis, which involved the criminal homicide of unarmed, innocent people.”

Krasner doubled down in a video posted to X, stating: “To anyone who is an ICE agent, thank you for upholding the law and the Constitution of the United States. But if you don’t, you’re gonna find out.”

The ICE assistance at Philadelphia International Airport, part of a nationwide effort at 14 major hubs, has already been credited with reducing wait times, with some travelers describing the unmasked agents as professional, friendly, and helpful.
President Trump had specifically directed the agents not to wear masks while assisting TSA in order to speed up processing.

WATCH: GOP Rep. Brian Mast Completely HUMILIATES Dem Rep. Gregory Meeks After Meeks Moves to Subpoena Marco Rubio Over Iran War

A loud-mouthed House Democrat totally flipped out after being totally exposed and humiliated after moving to subpoena Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday.
As The Hill reported, Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) moved to subpoena Rubio, U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner before the House Foreign Affairs Committee over the war in Iran by the end of April so the American public and Congress “can hear from them directly on the most pressing international security matter facing Americans today: President Trump’s war of choice in Iran.”
“If this committee cannot hold hearings on a war involving U.S. forces, the diplomacy around it, and its impacts on our allies and partners, then we are not meeting our most basic oversight responsibility,” he added.
But Meeks’ showboating quickly came back to haunt him. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast (R-FL) proceeded to humiliate him by exposing a damning truth: not only had Meeks not been showing up for classified briefings, but he had often been late for those he had attended.
Hearing this sent Meeks over the edge, and he yelled at Mast for several minutes. He falsely accused the Florida congressman of covering up for Trump and not holding public briefings.
He also again demanded that he call Witkoff, Rubio, and Kushner in to testify.
Mast somehow managed to keep his cool, even offering to keep Meeks posted whenever there’s a briefing, public or private, on the calendar. Meeks, of course, refused to listen and continued shouting.
The exchange concludes with Meeks continuing to scream, “Do you believe the American people deserve transparency!” and yelling for public hearings. In contrast, Mast continued to tell him he could start showing up to work.

OMG. Democrat Rep. Meeks just tried to angrily SUBPOENA Sec. Marco Rubio because he’s upset about not having “answers” about the Iran war…
…but he was IMMEDIATELY exposed for ROUTINELY SKIPPING his classified intel briefings, which would give him the answers he’s demanding… pic.twitter.com/vK4Sc02SMd

MAST: If you want to know what’s taking place with the activities in Iran or anywhere else, feel free to attend any of our fly-in classified briefings, which you don’t attend at all.
I’d also encourage you, when we have the classified briefings with Secretary Rubio, Secretary Hegseth…You might want to take a few notes because you are forgetting every single thing that they told you, which is every single detail you want to know about this conflict.
MEEKS: There haven’t been numerous; there’s been three! One with the Gang of Eight…
MAST: I can use my dictionary…
MEEKS: Do your job and lead this committee, and let the American people have some transparency! We need to have some transparency for the American people; we need to have public hearings!
MAST: Goes on every week. I can let you know when it happens. You can put it on your calendar.
MEEKS: We haven’t had any public hearings! What are you hiding?!
MAST: We have a hearing going on right now.
MEEKS: The three people who have been going through all the negotiating are Mr. Kushner, Mr. Witkoff…And we need the Secretary of State. Those are the individuals that need to be here!
That is why I am asking to have a subpoena to have them in this room…So they can have questions asked to them by Democrats and Republicans!
MAST: Like our classified briefings that you must have forgotten about.
MEEKS: I know you want to protect the president, and the way you want to protect him is by not calling his people…You just want to give them a (free pass) just like the Duma does for Vladimir Putin.
No responsibility! No oversight!
MAST: Attend the briefings that we have, you’d learn quite a bit. You could even consider showing up on time.
MEEKS: Stop covering up for the Administration! Don’t be a rubber stamp!
MAST: You have someone here before you. I’d encourage you to ask some questions.
MEEKS: I will.
MAST: I look forward to hearing it. Again, I’ll make sure to update you on when our classified briefings are…Hopefully we don’t see any more public excuses why you don’t show up to classified briefings.
MEEKS: Do the American people deserve transparency?
MAST: They deserve to know that everyone involved in their national security apparatus is actually paying attention to the issues.

The future is here!
On Wednesday afternoon, First Lady Melania Trump had a special guest at the White House for her Fostering the Future Together summit on AI education.
The First Lady began the second day of her tech summit at the White House by walking out with a U.S.-built humanoid robot.
As she entered the summit, which consists of leaders from 45 nations and over 28 technology organizations, she shared, “It’s fair to state you’re my first American-made humanoid guest in the White House.”

Per The Washington Times:
A talking humanoid robot joined first lady Melania Trump for her international summit on technology in Washington, an eye-popping start to the second day of the session.
The robot walked down a corridor with Mrs. Trump before welcoming guests in multiple languages in the East Room.
The white and black robot then wandered back down the hall while Mrs. Trump joked about it being the first “American-made humanoid guest in the White House.”
The first lady is hosting the spouses of world leaders this week as part of her Fostering the Future coalition. Its goal is to improve children’s lives through education and technology, harnessing artificial intelligence while mitigating potential risks tied to AI.
Time Magazine awarded the Figure 03 humanoid robot as one of the best inventions of 2025.
The robot can perform tasks around the home, such as folding clothes and loading the dishwasher.
Figure AI, the company behind the robot, hopes to put the bots to work across the U.S. economy.
