US EditionHouse rejects Senate DHS deal, passes short-term funding patch

- On Friday, House Republicans passed a short-term Department of Homeland Security funding bill in a 213-203 vote, extending appropriations through May 22 while including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection funding.

- President Donald Trump ordered the Department of Homeland Security to pay Transportation Security Administration employees during the impasse, though operational disruptions and travel delays persist at airports.
