After a record-breaking 47-day shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, Republican leadership announced a two-track plan that will fund most of the agency while separating Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol into a separate three-year funding package. The deal comes after intense internal GOP divisions nearly derailed efforts to reopen critical security operations. Republican Deal Breaks DHS Funding in Two House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune confirmed Wednesday that the House will vote on a Senate-passed measure funding most DHS operations through September, excluding ICE and Border Patrol. Those two agencies will be funded through a separate party-line reconciliation bill for three years, requiring no Democratic support. The approach comes after House Republicans rejected an identical proposal just days earlier, instead passing a doomed 60-day temporary funding measure. President Trump initially resisted the compromise, telling reporters last week he was unhappy with any deal that did not include his election overhaul package known as the Save America Act. However, Trump appeared to reverse course Wednesday, writing on social media that he wants the party-line immigration enforcement funding bill on his desk by June 1. Democrats Accept Deal Despite Policy Concerns Senate Democrats welcomed the agreement, though it does not include their demands for immigration enforcement reforms following the deaths of two American citizens in Minneapolis by ICE agents. Democratic leadership had insisted on policy changes including requiring judicial warrants for home entries and banning masks for enforcement officers. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Republican divisions for prolonging the shutdown but confirmed Democrats would support reopening the department. Conservative Opposition Threatens Quick Resolution Despite the leadership agreement, passage remains uncertain. Congress is currently on a two-week recess, and the deal requires unanimous consent to bypass formal voting procedures. Representative Scott Perry of the conservative House Freedom Caucus already announced his opposition, calling the plan a cave to Democrats that defunds law enforcement. Any single member objection would force a delay until lawmakers return from recess. ICE operations have continued largely unaffected during the shutdown due to $75 billion in funding approved through a separate reconciliation bill last year.
