House relents, finally ends record-breaking Homeland Security shutdown

6. The ICE thing was going through "reconciliation" versus "the rest of DHS" one

I.e., Democrats FORCED the House to pass the "all of DHS except ICE" bill the Senate had approved over a month ago, MAKING Mike allow a vote - which was done as a "voice vote" versus a "roll call".

HE CAVED.

But note - they used UP a "spending" reconciliation option, and can't use it again for the rest of the FY for whatever other crap they were planning to do (each reconciliation type can only be used once a FY).

ETA - the House reconciliation framework still has to get through the Senate and that itself, is a whole process ( "vote-a-rama" for Amendments", etc.) and if the Senate version doesn't match, then that will delay any ICE funding until BOTH chambers agree to ONE bill.
