House rejects Senate DHS deal, passes short-term funding patch

House Republicans passed an eight-week funding extension after rejecting a bipartisan Senate bill that excluded ICE and Border Patrol, prolonging a partial DHS shutdown impacting airport security.

  • On Friday, House Republicans passed a short-term Department of Homeland Security funding bill in a 213-203 vote, extending appropriations through May 22 while including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection funding.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson advanced the measure after rejecting a bipartisan Senate-passed bill that would have funded most of the department while withholding money for immigration enforcement agencies.
  • Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer denounced the House GOP bill as "dead on arrival in the Senate," citing Democrats' insistence on reform guardrails for immigration enforcement agencies before providing funding.
  • With Congress in a two-week recess and no viable path for the House measure, the partial government shutdown is now set to last until at least April 13.
  • President Donald Trump ordered the Department of Homeland Security to pay Transportation Security Administration employees during the impasse, though operational disruptions and travel delays persist at airports.
