"Johnson and Thune stated that DHS will be fully funded on two parallel tracks: through the appropriations process and through the reconciliation process. They blamed Democrats for the sudden change of course."
"Republicans in Congress cannot allow Democrats to put the safety of the American public at risk through their open border policies, so they are taking that off the table."
"We appreciate and share the President's determination to once and for all bring an end to the Democrat DHS shutdown. Republicans will follow through on the President's directive by fully funding the entire Department of Homeland Security."
House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced a new agreement to fund the Department of Homeland Security after a prior Senate bill was rejected. They indicated a commitment to follow the president's directive for full funding through both appropriations and reconciliation processes. The Republican leaders criticized Democrats for their stance on immigration and border security, asserting that the safety of the American public is at risk due to Democratic policies. They expressed determination to end the DHS shutdown and ensure border security.
