10 OUTLETS
Thune and GOP Leaders Announce Plan to End DHS Shutdown

Outlets agree that Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a two-track plan to reopen most of DHS while pursuing separate later funding for immigration enforcement, as the partial shutdown continued. Left-leaning outlets characterize the agreement as a concession to Democrats that delays addressing immigration-enforcement funding. Center outlets mainly explain the plan and its uncertain path, though one frames it as Johnson yielding to Democratic demands. Right-leaning outlets emphasize a separate route to immigration-enforcement funding, with some presenting it as a way around Democratic opposition.
