House Republicans passed a stopgap measure to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after rejecting a Senate-passed spending bill that left out funding for immigration enforcement. The House passed the measure in a 213-209 vote, with three Democrats voting with Republicans in support. However, it is unlikely to be approved by the Senate and is likely to prolong the six-week partial government shutdown. The Senate version was supported by House Democrats but rejected by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and other Republicans for the "zero" dollars for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). President Donald Trump also criticized the Senate bill for failing to fund ICE and Border Patrol.
