House Funds DHS, Ending 76-Day Standoff
The House passed a Senate-approved funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, ending a 76-day standoff that had stalled most of the agency’s operations. House Speaker Mike Johnson reversed his earlier opposition after discussions with the White House and Senate leadership, allowing the measure to move forward. The bill funds non-immigration functions of DHS, while Republicans plan a separate effort to fund immigration enforcement agencies like ICE and CBP.

- ▪The Trump administration had been using existing funds to pay DHS employees, but those resources were nearing exhaustion.
- ▪Rep. Chip Roy criticized the bill for excluding ICE and CBP, warning that Republicans could retaliate using similar tactics in future negotiations.
