GOP Pushes Fast-Track DHS Funding as Johnson Weighs Tweaks
TL;DR
House Republicans aim to pass the Senate-passed DHS funding bill—funding most of the department but not immigration enforcement—in a bid to end a 76-day shutdown. Speaker Mike Johnson is weighing tweaks to remove explicit ICE/Border Patrol funding language or moving the bill on a fast-track floor vote, with a Thursday/ pre-recess deadline and pressure from the White House to act. The move comes amid ongoing farm-bill debates and other Capitol fights.
