Speaker Mike Johnson agreed to a plan for a partial DHS reopening followed by a larger immigration spending bill.
The Senate unanimously passed a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security and end a partial government shutdown. The measure now moves to the House following a deal between leadership to address border priorities later this spring.
Senate Majority Leader who negotiated the funding deal
Thune's version of this story ↗Speaker Mike Johnson is pursuing a "two-track" plan to end the DHS shutdown, a move RawStory frames as a "flip-flop" that has sparked an internal Republican revolt. Conversely, The Washington Examiner emphasizes Johnson's strategic distrust of the Senate and his focus on securing immigration enforcement funding to satisfy his caucus. Center-leaning outlets like Reuters and AP News focus on the procedural uncertainty as Johnson attempts to coordinate with both the Senate and the White House.
