DHS funding live updates as Johnson says House will vote on its own stopgap plan, rather than Senate-approved bill - cbsnews.com

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced the chamber will vote on its own continuing resolution rather than advance the Senate-approved Department of Homeland Security funding bill. The move signals a breakdown in negotiations between the chambers over how to fund the agency and potentially other government operations. Johnson's decision to pursue a House-specific stopgap plan could delay passage of DHS funding and risks triggering a government shutdown if the chambers cannot reconcile their positions before the current continuing resolution expires. The disagreement reflects broader tensions between House Republicans and the Senate over spending priorities and riders attached to government funding bills. The timing is critical, as DHS funds critical border security operations and other federal law enforcement functions.
