Senate GOP ICE CBP funding
Definition
A partisan political maneuver by U.S. Senate Republicans (GOP) to allocate dedicated funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), often via budget reconciliation to sidestep Democratic opposition amid border security debates.
