GOP Sets Sights on Narrow DHS Funding to End Shutdown by Deadline
TL;DR
With a June 1 funding deadline looming, GOP leaders seek to pass a slim, immigration-focused DHS funding bill via reconciliation to restore DHS dollars and end the shutdown, hoping to bypass Democratic hurdles, but face opposition from House conservatives and some Senate Republicans who want broader DHS funding and other GOP priorities. Senate leaders may move quickly on a budget blueprint for the reconciliation bill, while other Capitol watch items include a 702 spy powers extension and resignations of Swalwell and Gonzales.
