The White House is urging Congress to quickly reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through a bipartisan spending bill, which has been stalled in the House for over three weeks due to GOP opposition. The White House has issued a memo urging lawmakers to approve the Senate-passed DHS spending bill and a budget resolution specifically funding federal immigration enforcement. This comes after an assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. The memo rejected an idea by House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La, that the DHS bill would require some modifications before it can be approved, which would further delay the 73-day shutdown.
