House Republicans Push New DHS Funding Bill

About this episode

House Republicans are pushing a new bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security amid a political standoff.

House Speaker Mike Johnson from Louisiana introduces a new bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, amid a standoff due to Democrats refusal to back funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. The agency has been partially shut down since February. Senate Republicans attempted funding through reconciliation, but Johnson criticizes their version as flawed. The House is now working on a cleaner bill, with Republicans urging a quick vote and some even suggesting ditching the sixty-vote filibuster. Homeland Security leaders warn of emergency pay running out by late April, and President Trump praises Johnson and calls on House Republicans to unify and pass the bill by June first. This funding fight tests party lines and leaders on both sides must bridge gaps quickly to avoid further chaos. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
