President Trump and Republican congressional leaders announced a plan to end the partial DHS shutdown, using separate funding tracks for most of the department and for immigration enforcement. The proposal follows Republican divisions over earlier Senate and House funding measures.
Trump called for funding ICE and Border Patrol through reconciliation, with legislation sent to him by June 1. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Republicans would pursue the directive through appropriations and reconciliation, aiming to fund immigration enforcement for three years. The proposal would fund most of DHS through October.
The article recounts that the Senate approved a prior deal funding DHS except for ICE and parts of CBP, while House conservatives opposed that approach and the House passed a short-term funding measure. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Republican divisions, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said House Democrats would not yield.
