"House Republicans rejected the Senate-passed deal and passed their own party-line two-month stopgap spending bill for DHS that included immigration enforcement."
"Senate Republicans' anger at Democrats for blocking DHS funding - even though House Republicans rejected the Senate bill - is leading more of them to embrace Trump's calls to get rid of the filibuster."
"The White House is now calling on the Senate to interrupt its recess to come back into session and pass the House's DHS funding bill, which, of course, Democrats will filibuster to death."
The U.S. Senate approved an appropriations measure for the Department of Homeland Security, excluding immigration enforcement. House Republicans countered with a two-month stopgap bill that included immigration funding, leading to a legislative deadlock. Senate Republicans are increasingly frustrated with Democrats for blocking funding, despite House Republicans' rejection of the Senate deal. This situation has revived Donald Trump's calls to eliminate the filibuster, as he seeks to leverage GOP divisions to push his agenda. The impasse raises concerns about future bipartisan cooperation before the 2026 midterms.
