Quote:
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) on Wednesday announced a deal that, if accepted by their members, would end the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Quote:
The two GOP leaders said they will pursue a two-track plan endorsed earlier in the day by President Trump to end the shutdown by funding immigration and border enforcement through a GOP-only reconciliation bill — making a stark reversal for the House GOP from just a week ago.
Quote:
Trump initially stayed out of the GOP squabble, but on Wednesday, he publicly endorsed funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol through the special budget reconciliation process that allows Republicans to fund the agencies without needing Democratic support. Trump set a June 1 deadline for Congress to send him the bill.
