House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday it will be a few days before a government funding package comes up for a vote, all but ensuring the partial federal shutdown will drag into the week as Democrats and Republicans debate reining in the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration enforcement operations.
Johnson signaled he is relying on help from Donald Trump to ensure passage. Trump struck a deal with senators to separate funding for the Department of Homeland Security from a broader package after public outrage over two shooting deaths during protests in Minneapolis against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The measure approved Friday by the Senate would fund DHS temporarily, for two weeks, setting up a deadline for Congress to debate and vote on new restrictions on ICE operations.
No, the Senate Dems funded everything except ICE until like October but only 2 weeks for ICE (should be none, but oh well)
House has to approve the same bill but Republicans are stalling now, because they want ICE to be fully funded.
Thanks, I misunderstood the article.
