‘So Rule is an issue’
The summer exit confirmed what had been apparent for weeks: that Republicans lacked the votes to pass the voting restrictions the president has made a top priority.
Republicans managed to push through legislation to fund the government through Dec. 4. But with Democrats opposed, the stage is set for a broader battle.
Lawmakers are hoping to avoid a third shutdown since last September. The stopgap funding measure now heads to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain future.
The reconciliation package provides additional funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol.
SENATE REPUBLICANS GO INSANE ... FLEE TOWN WITHOUT FUNDING FOR ICE & BORDER PATROL ... SPECIAL REPORT: House Republicans pulled an I.C.E./Border Patrol funding bill, after a revolt against the Trump administration's $1.8 billion weaponization compensation fund. Now lawmakers are leaving early for Memorial, all but assuring that Congress will miss the President's June 1 funding deadline. @ChadPergram is following it all from Capitol Hill. (VIDEO)
House Speaker Mike Johnson argued the Senate’s bill includes “problematic language” that would “orphan” the agency’s immigration operations.
The U.S. Senate early Friday morning passed a funding bill by voice vote to effectively end the Senate Democrats' partial government shutdown impacting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The bill funds most of the department but excludes certain parts of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and most of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), namely ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).
