Punchbowl News: “Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the White House are negotiating a framework to pass five of the six outstanding FY2026 funding bills, as well as a stopgap measure for the Department of Homeland Security.”
“Under this framework, Congress would pass a short-term DHS patch to allow for negotiations to continue over new limits on ICE and CBP agents as they implement President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. The Senate Republican leadership began the week by saying Democrats should agree to pass all six spending bills, which Schumer has refused to do.”
“If Schumer and the White House come to an agreement, there would still likely be a funding lapse over the weekend.”
Playbook: “News emerged last night that the White House is considering a short-term deal to avert a government shutdown while negotiations continue with Democrats over reforms to ICE — just the latest sign of Donald Trump’s stunning reverse-gear on immigration.”
