Rep. Nick Langworthy urged Speaker Mike Johnson to bring the Senate-passed Department of Homeland Security funding bill to a House vote. The partial shutdown has left federal workers without paychecks, while the bill’s treatment of ICE funding remains contentious.
Langworthy called for a House vote on the Senate-passed funding measure, which the Senate passed unanimously last month. The partial shutdown had left Secret Service members, TSA agents and other federal workers without paychecks for 73 days. The bill would withhold funding for ICE agents until changes are made within the department, a provision the article identifies as the main point of contention.
Democratic Rep. Josh Riley said Democrats had been seeking funding and praised Langworthy’s willingness to work across party lines. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the shutdown’s effects on the Secret Service underscored the need for DHS funding. Johnson had not responded to Langworthy’s request.
