House Republicans reject Senate DHS funding bill that excludes ICE funding
The Senate passed a DHS funding bill overnight that excludes funding for ICE and Border Patrol, planning to address those agencies later through reconciliation. House Speaker Mike Johnson rejected the Senate approach and announced plans for an eight-week continuing resolution to fund all DHS agencies. House conservatives are demanding full border enforcement funding and threatening to oppose any bill that relies on Democratic votes.
