House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a 60-day short-term funding vote for the Department of Homeland Security after criticizing a Senate-passed bill he called inadequate.
The Senate measure, which passed with bipartisan agreement, would fund DHS but excludes agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, drawing opposition from many Republicans.
Johnson and other GOP members argued the proposal lacks key immigration enforcement funding, while Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, said they would not support a bill without reforms and guardrails.
President Donald Trump also weighed in amid ongoing shutdown-related issues, including TSA staffing disruptions and airport delays, NBC News has reported.
With both chambers divided and the United States Senate in recess, the legislation faces significant uncertainty despite efforts to resolve the funding standoff.
