Mullin’s DHS Drive: Still Building Bridges on Capitol Hill

Despite stepping up efforts to mend ties between the Department of Homeland Security and Congress, Mullin still faces friction: Rand Paul remains skeptical of his temperament, Democrats are wary of his leadership, and the White House has not fully embraced him as DHS’s Hill point person. On the flip side, some House Republicans report improved communication and Mullin appears ready to play a bigger funding‑season role ahead of his upcoming House Appropriations testimony and any to‑be‑negotiated reconciliation bill for ICE and CBP.

GOP Rift Between House and Senate Threatens Its Agenda

House and Senate Republicans are at odds over key legislation, with finger‑pointing and intraparty fights delaying the GOP agenda as lawmakers confront a shrinking window before the midterms; Johnson and Thune struggle to coordinate amid disputes over DHS funding, surveillance authorities (Section 702), housing/crypto provisions, and immigration enforcement, risking a legislative pileup even as Trump pressure looms.

GOP Pushes Fast-Track DHS Funding as Johnson Weighs Tweaks

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.

Johnson’s House Wins Hit by Intra-GOP Chaos as Senate Looms

House Republicans logged wins under Speaker Mike Johnson by advancing a budget framework to restart DHS immigration enforcement funding and a three-year FISA reauthorization, but the path faces Senate resistance and internal GOP battles, especially over the Farm Bill’s ethanol provision (E15) and a side deal to decouple it from the bill. Senate timing and opposition, plus warnings from GOP leaders like Sen. Thune about delays and political messaging on cost of living, threaten to derail momentum as lawmakers head into a weeklong recess.

House Refreshes Foreign Spy Program and Opens Path to Reopen DHS

The House voted 235-191 to renew the Section 702 foreign surveillance program for three years, while also approving a Senate-passed budget plan that would fast-track about $70 billion to fund ICE and the Border Patrol for roughly three years via budget reconciliation, potentially paving the way to end the DHS shutdown. The votes came amid intra-party tensions, a chaotic day on the floor, and ongoing debates over farm policy and border-enforcement tactics, with the Senate signaling resistance to a standalone FISA extension.

House clears path to reauthorize spy powers, farm bill, and immigration funding

House Republicans cleared a procedural path to vote on three priorities—extending Section 702 surveillance powers (FISA), updating the farm bill, and a budget blueprint to fund immigration enforcement—after hard-line resistance and last-minute amendments. The 216-210 rule approval signals floor consideration despite intra-GOP objections over guardrails on surveillance, E15 fuel language, and pesticide-labeling provisions, with Senate skepticism about linking a digital currency ban to FISA. A planned farm-bill vote was delayed for more negotiations, as leaders aim to reopen the Department of Homeland Security funding shuttered for months.

GOP Rift on DHS Funding as Shutdown Deadline Looms

Republican leaders Johnson and Thune clash over how to fund DHS: push ICE and Border Patrol funding through reconciliation while other DHS funds go through normal appropriations; the Senate bill’s language zeroing out ICE/Border Patrol funding is a flashpoint. Johnson proposes a revised version to win House votes with minimal substance changes, while Thune signals openness to edits. Any deal may require reconciling the House and Senate versions, potentially delaying passage and risking a mid-May shutdown.

GOP Dollar Dispute: DHS Funding Stalled as Ballrooms and Security Take Center Stage

House Republicans remain divided over the Senate-passed DHS funding bill: Rep. Nick Langworthy urges an immediate floor vote, but Speaker Mike Johnson says the measure needs changes to avoid “orphaning” ICE/CBP funding and to align with a separate immigration-enforcement reconciliation. The debate is swirling around whether White House ballroom funding can be attached to the DHS package, a move conservatives favor but Democrats largely oppose, in the wake of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting that raised security concerns. Lawmakers are also weighing hearings and potential committees to examine security at events, all of which threatens to delay DHS funding and other GOP priorities in a tense, multi-track process.

GOP Budget Push Targets Immigration Enforcement via Reconciliation

Senate Republicans unveiled a 58-page budget resolution to start a reconciliation process to fund ICE and CBP within DHS, authorizing up to about $70 billion in new spending over roughly 3.5 years and aiming to move a final measure to the president by June 1; Democrats oppose funding immigration enforcement without reforms, while Republicans say the move is needed for border security and the plan hinges on House action to complete the funding.

GOP Sets Sights on Narrow DHS Funding to End Shutdown by Deadline

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.

DHS funding hangs in the balance as TSA pay rolls out

House-approved a two-month DHS stopgap sets up a Senate test of unanimous-consent passage; a single objection could keep the department funded only after an April mid-recess, prolonging the shutdown. Meanwhile, TSA officers are beginning to receive emergency pay under an executive order, though not all workers have been paid, and airports warn of longer security lines as travelers are urged to arrive early during the shutdown (now about 45 days in).

House GOP Rejects Senate DHS Deal, Pushes 60-Day Shutdown Extension

House Republicans rejected the Senate’s bipartisan DHS funding package that would fund most DHS agencies through September and instead advanced a 60‑day stopgap through May 22 that includes immigration enforcement; the plan would not pass the Senate, risking the longest DHS shutdown in U.S. history and highlighting a rift with Senate leaders over immigration policy.
