‘Everybody in America better watch’ how lawmakers vote on DHS funding: Mike Johnson

House Republicans seek to end a 2½-week DHS partial shutdown, citing heightened urgency due to U.S. military actions in Iran amid Democratic demands for immigration policy changes.

  • House Republicans are pressing to end a 2½-week-old partial DHS shutdown with a Thursday floor vote, arguing President Donald Trump's strike on Iran raises urgency to restore full funding.
  • Since mid-February, DHS has lacked full funding amid Democrats' demands for changes to Immigration and Customs Enforcement after federal agents killed two people in Minneapolis.
  • House Majority Leader Steve Scalise warned `this is no time` to keep DHS shut down, saying cyber capabilities are `dramatically limited` and ICE and CBP are least affected by the `one big, beautiful bill`.
  • House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said the administration chose `to spend billions of dollars to bomb Iran rather than spend taxpayer dollars to lower the grocery bills` and Democratic leadership plans to vote no.
  • Funding proposals would separate TSA and FEMA from the broader ICE dispute as Rep. Rosa DeLauro sought to fund these agencies while talks on ICE continue, with ICE and CBP least impacted under the GOP's `one big, beautiful bill`.
