""We have reached all the emergency funds we can reach into. I am completely out of the slush fund, I have no place to move at the end of the month.""
"Speaker Mike Johnson referred to the Senate's funding proposal as 'a joke' and initially refused to bring it up for a vote."
The House of Representatives voted to fund the Department of Homeland Security, concluding a 76-day shutdown. The bill excluded funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. Democrats sought reforms related to immigration enforcement but were unsuccessful. Speaker Mike Johnson initially opposed the funding but later agreed to a vote. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin warned of imminent funding shortages for the agency, stating that emergency funds were depleted and no alternatives remained.
