Johnson demands changes to Senate DHS bill to protect immigration enforcement funding
House Speaker Mike Johnson says the Senate-passed DHS funding bill is 'problematic' and must be revised to avoid orphaning funding for ICE and CBP, as conservatives push to strip out the language and keep immigration enforcement funding in a separate reconciliation package. Republican Rep. Nick Langworthy is pressuring for an immediate House vote on the Senate bill amid security concerns following the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting. Johnson also signaled upcoming votes on the Section 702 extension, immigration funding, and the farm bill, while Congress weighs potential investigations and security reviews of the Secret Service; discussions include tightening security for future presidential events.
