Homeland Security Funding Lapse All But Certain

Politico: “The White House on Wednesday night sent Congress the legislative text of its immigration enforcement counterproposal… But key Democrats have already said they don’t believe the administration is serious enough about reigning in the immigration agencies, all but guaranteeing a funding lapse despite the text exchange.”

Punchbowl News: “Barring some dramatic turnaround, Congress will leave town today without having funded DHS, triggering a shutdown of the department. Some agencies within DHS — ICE and CBP — have already been funded via last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill, making it unclear how this crisis will ultimately play out.”
