Senate GOP Preps Workaround to Pass DHS Funding Without Democrats
House Republican leaders are resisting calls to take up a bipartisan Senate bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, instead insisting on first advancing legislation focused on immigration enforcement. The stance, backed by Speaker Mike Johnson, comes despite pressure from the White House and frustration among some Senate Republicans as DHS faces potential funding shortfalls for employees. GOP leaders argue the order of legislation is critical, warning that passing broader funding first could leave key enforcement priorities behind.
Meanwhile, Senate Republicans are preparing a partisan fallback plan to fund DHS using the budget reconciliation process, allowing passage with a simple majority while bypassing Democratic support.
