Summary
House Republicans have advanced a two-month stopgap measure to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), despite the Senate passing a different funding bill earlier. The House measure is expected to pass, but it is unlikely to be approved by the Senate. The Senate bill provided full-year appropriations for DHS, but excluded funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). House Speaker Mike Johnson and President Donald Trump have criticized the Senate bill.
