Briefly

House passes short-term DHS funding bill
"The Senate voted in the early hours of Friday morning to pass a bill that would reopen all of the Department of Homeland Security, excluding funding for ICE and CBP."
"Speaker Mike Johnson advanced an eight-week stopgap that fully funds DHS, including ICE and CBP, with a vote of 213-203."
"Senate Majority Leader John Thune signaled that Republicans plan to address those agencies later through reconciliation, with only GOP votes."
"Johnson called the Senate-passed bill a 'joke,' noting the lack of border security funding."
The Senate approved a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security that does not allocate money for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. In contrast, Speaker Mike Johnson proposed an eight-week stopgap measure that fully funds DHS, including ICE and CBP, which passed with a vote of 213-203. Senate Republicans plan to address funding for ICE and CBP later, while Senate Democrats oppose the House's funding bill. The Senate is currently on recess and must decide on the House's proposal.
