US EditionHill GOP Braces for ‘Nightmare Week’ as Pressure Mounts to End DHS Funding Standoff
The impasse leaves Secret Service pay authority set to expire by week’s end as House and Senate Republicans clash over immigration language and other priorities.

- Johnson may need to seek cooperation from Democrats through a "suspension vote" to resolve the impasse, as officials warn funding is urgently needed before resources exhaust.
