The US House of Representatives took no action on a compromise measure aimed at ending the partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which has persisted since mid-February. The shutdown occurred after Democrats demanded new regulations on federal agents involved in immigration enforcement, leading to a deadlock. Although a Senate measure was passed to fund most of DHS, House Republicans rejected it in favor of their own 60-day funding bill, which Senate Democrats vowed to block. The situation has resulted in the longest government shutdown in history, impacting federal workers and causing delays at major airports due to unpaid Transportation Security Administration agents. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune plan to work with Democrats on the Senate bill while also preparing a separate reconciliation bill to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). However, internal disagreements within the Republican Party complicate the path forward, especially with the upcoming midterm elections looming. Senator Lindsey Graham indicated that the reconciliation bill might also address funding for the conflict with Iran and new voter identification requirements.
