House Speaker Mike Johnson says representatives are not on board with the Senate plan that would fund most parts of DHS through September, but exclude Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol.
Johnson says the House instead wants to fund the whole department until May 22nd, and he says the president is on board.
It's unclear whether the Senate will agree to the maneuver.
Senators have already left town, and Democrats have refused to vote for any spending bill that funds ICE.
Separately, President Trump has signed an executive order to pay agents with the TSA as the DHS shutdown hits its 42nd day.
