"House leaders are now expected to reconsider after striking an agreement with Senate Majority Leader John Thune to pursue a broader spending package later this spring."
"The proposal introduces a two-step approach, pushing a partial reopening of DHS initially, followed by a larger megabill addressing immigration funding."
The Senate unanimously passed a bill to partially reopen the Department of Homeland Security, sending it back to the House. The House previously declined to consider it in favor of an alternative funding plan. House leaders are expected to reconsider after an agreement with Senate Majority Leader John Thune to pursue a broader spending package. This future legislation will include funding related to immigration and border priorities. The timeline for a House vote on the Senate bill remains uncertain as lawmakers are on recess.
