House Speaker Mike Johnson said he expects Congress to approve a funding deal by Tuesday, ending the partial shutdown while negotiations continue over limits on federal immigration enforcement. He described demands for agents to wear identification badges and uncover their faces as red lines.
With the federal government in a partial shutdown, House lawmakers were expected to return Monday to consider a funding deal President Donald Trump had worked out with Democrats. Johnson said he was confident it would pass by Tuesday, likely with Republican votes alone. The plan would fund the Homeland Security Department for two weeks while negotiations continue and fund the rest of the government through September 30.
The Senate approved the deal on Friday, and the House Rules Committee planned to vote Monday on advancing it. Johnson said requirements for immigration agents to wear identification badges and not cover their faces would be red lines, while he indicated Tom Homan could agree to ending roving patrols and requiring body cameras. The dispute followed the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good; Democrats had withheld support for renewing DHS funding unless immigration enforcement faced new restraints.
