The appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security are being separated from the minibus passed by the House of Representatives, with a two-week interim extension for negotiations. After passing the Senate, the rest of the 2026 spending package will return to the House for another vote when the lower chamber is back from recess on Monday. A White House official stated, "President Trump has been consistent - he wants the government to remain open, and the Administration has been working with both parties to ensure the American people don't have to endure another shutdown. A shutdown would risk disaster response funding and more vital resources for the American people." |
