House Takes Up Senate Spending Deal as Partial Shutdown Enters Day 3

A Tuesday vote will test support for a five-bill package after DHS funding was set aside for a two‑week negotiation over immigration enforcement.

Overview

  • The House Rules Committee meets Monday to advance a Senate‑passed package, with leaders targeting a final floor vote on Tuesday to end the partial shutdown.
  • The Senate plan funds five departments through September and keeps DHS on a two‑week continuing resolution to allow talks on enforcement changes.
  • Disruption has been limited so far because many operations are already funded or staffed by essential workers who remain on duty without pay.
  • Speaker Mike Johnson says he expects quick passage, and President Donald Trump urged the House to approve the Senate deal without changes and said he would sign it immediately.
  • Passage remains uncertain as a razor‑thin GOP majority faces demands from hardliners to add the SAVE Act and as Democrats press for DHS guardrails such as body cameras, visible IDs, limits on masking and roving patrols, and stricter warrant standards, with any House changes likely forcing the bill back to the Senate.
