""I'm confident that we'll do it at least by Tuesday," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday. "We have a logistical challenge of getting everyone in town and because of the conversation I had with Hakeem Jeffries, I know that we've got to pass a rule and probably do this mostly on our own.""
""What is clear is that the Department of Homeland Security needs to be dramatically reformed," he said."
"Asked about unmasking agents and mandating they wear identification on Fox, Johnson said those things "would create further danger" and that border czar Tom Homan would not be able to implement them."
The Senate passed legislation separating immigration enforcement from the broader funding fight and approved a two-week Department of Homeland Security stopgap. A partial government shutdown began Saturday. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries warned Democrats would not support the package as written, while House Republican leaders plan to pass a procedural rule to fund nearly all federal agencies and reserve two weeks for DHS negotiations. The House Rules Committee will take up the Senate package Monday, with leadership aiming for a Tuesday vote. Democrats demand unmasking agents, body cameras, and tighter warrant usage; Republicans say those measures would create danger and hinder implementation.
