Mike Johnson Rejects Senate Plan to Fund Parts of DHS

Mike Johnson rejected the Senate’s DHS funding plan, which excluded immigration enforcement, and backed a different House measure. The competing plans left the shutdown unresolved. Left-leaning outlets portray Johnson’s rejection as prolonging the shutdown and stress its effects on workers and travel. Center outlets focus on the competing proposals and the shutdown’s practical costs. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the Senate plan’s exclusion of immigration-enforcement funding and the House alternative to fund DHS more fully.
