With Democrats refusing to back money for the agency without significant new restrictions on federal immigration officers, legislation providing new funding failed on a vote of 51 to 46, well short of the 60 votes required to advance the bill.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, seen here at the U. S. Capitol on Jan. 21, 2025, said over the weekend that Democrats would not provide votes needed to pass a critical funding bill unless funding for immigration enforcement was removed.
