The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been without funding for more than 70 days, with Congress at an impasse on several contentious issues including reauthorization of a controversial foreign surveillance program, agricultural policies, and a budget measure on Republican immigration priorities. Despite President Donald Trump's executive order in April authorizing paying all DHS employees during the shutdown, the funding could dry up by May 1, causing Transportation Security Administration agents to miss paychecks and Secret Service agents to go without pay. The Senate approved a DHS bill in late March that would have funded the agency except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and parts of Customs and Border Protection, but the House rejected this proposal due to conservative backlash. The House Rules Committee, which typically determines which bills make it to the House floor, returned to Congress with the hope of advancing together reauthorizations of the ICE and CBP budget resolution. However, many Republicans refuse to support this plan without changes to immigration enforcement practices.
