Supports. WMTW reports Collins joined most Senate Republicans in voting to adopt a $70 billion budget plan to fund ICE and Border Patrol, adopted 50-48.[2]
Supports. Maine Beacon reports Collins voted to advance a Republican-backed plan providing $70 billion in new funding for ICE and Customs and Border Protection.[3]
Supports. Spectrum News reports Collins defended her support for increased DHS and ICE funding in August 2026, saying she voted to allocate money for body cameras and de-escalation training.[4]

Context. The Stated Record notes Collins backed several motions that failed and that final Senate passage was by voice vote, and a March Senate vote funded DHS except ICE; these details do not contradict that she voted for ICE funding.[5][6]
