US EditionHouse Republicans poised to reject Senate-passed DHS funding bill, likely extending standoff
House Republicans oppose Senate DHS bill for excluding immigration enforcement funding and plan a short-term funding extension through May 22, risking prolonged airport disruptions.
- On Friday, March 27, 2026, House Republicans rejected a Senate-passed bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, citing its exclusion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol. Speaker Mike Johnson proposed an eight-week continuing resolution to fully fund DHS through May 22.
- Early Friday, the Senate unanimously passed a funding measure to end the 42-day DHS shutdown, but excluded ICE and parts of Border Patrol. This left more than 60,000 employees without pay and created severe staffing shortages at airports nationwide.
- Callout rates exceeded 40% at multiple airports, and nearly 500 TSA officers quit during the shutdown. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing DHS to immediately pay TSA employees using funds from his 2025 tax bill.
- House conservatives, including Rep. Chip Roy, called the Senate proposal "garbage" and a "non-starter," while many senators left Washington for a two-week recess. Johnson confirmed the House will vote on his stopgap measure "as soon as possible."
- Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer vowed that any legislation lacking immigration enforcement reforms is "dead on arrival" in the Senate. If Congress fails to reach an agreement by Saturday, the DHS shutdown will break the record for the longest government closure in American history.
