9 OUTLETS
Senate Passes DHS Funding Bill Excluding ICE

Outlets report that the Senate passed a DHS funding measure excluding ICE, leaving House action necessary. They also report Trump’s plan or order to pay TSA workers amid the shutdown and funding dispute. Left-leaning outlets focus on Trump’s and Johnson’s choices as weakening Republican prospects or congressional authority. Center outlets connect the partial funding measure to TSA pay and shutdown-related travel consequences. Right-leaning outlets credit Trump’s assurances with moving the deal forward; one also rejects Democrats’ claim of victory.
