Senate passes bill to partially reopen DHS, setting up House vote
The measure would reopen most of the department and leave ICE and border patrol funding for a separate bill, with Republicans targeting June 1.
- The Senate cleared the way on Thursday for the House to pass a Department of Homeland Security funding bill through September 30, moving to end a nearly seven-week partial shutdown.
- Democrats have opposed funding DHS immigration enforcement operations since two deadly shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis earlier this year, creating the funding impasse.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Speaker Mike Johnson announced Wednesday that they reached a deal to fund most of the department, excluding ICE and portions of Border Protection.
- Although the Senate advanced the measure, House Republican leaders may delay a final vote until the chamber returns from recess the week of April 13.
- Republicans plan to pursue three years of funding for immigration enforcement agencies through the reconciliation process, with a deadline to send the bill to President Donald Trump by June 1.
