Senate Again Advances Partial DHS Funding Bill Excluding ICE/CBP as Johnson Now Agrees to House Vote Despite GOP Revolt
Early Friday the Senate unanimously advanced a late‑night bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security — including TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and cybersecurity units — through September while explicitly excluding funding for ICE and large parts of CBP; the move followed President Trump’s directive to restore TSA pay and came after Democrats won the carve‑out but not the policy reforms they sought. Speaker Mike Johnson, who initially rejected the Senate plan, agreed with Senate leaders to send the package to the House amid fierce backlash from hard‑line House Republicans, with GOP leaders planning a separate reconciliation bill to fund ICE/Border Patrol and the timing of a House vote and final resolution remaining uncertain.
