It's Dems wanting to put language in that is a backdoor way to limit ICE detentaining asylum-seekers.

At the same time, Democrats were trying to limit the number of detention beds that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency would have access to. Democrats want to cap detention beds as a way to limit aggressive detention activities by ICE. One of the people familiar with the situation said that was the issue that led to the impasse.

This is resolvable and will be resolved. Dems will have other chances to get to the same outcome in future appropriations and authorization bills.
