House Speaker Mike Johnson announced the new bill, likely prolonging the DHS shutdown, now over 10 weeks long and affecting agencies like TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, and Secret Service.
The move follows concerns over the Senate bill's treatment of immigration enforcement and comes as emergency funds for DHS are set to run out by month’s end.
The shutdown stems from partisan disputes over immigration tactics, with Democrats seeking new restrictions after recent fatal incidents and Republicans pushing to fund ICE and CBP through reconciliation.
