There is a plan which is pass a short-term funding bill to fund all of the agency except for immigration enforcement.
They're doing that in cooperation with Democrats.
Then go through the longer process of

Agencies are typically funded just a year at a time, so that's a big deal.

More than three dozen called for him to be removed from office.
After this weekend's talks led by Vice President Vance failed, Democrats will force votes on the war in an attempt to curb the president's powers.
The Constitution gives Congress the authority to declare war, though it's been some time since they asserted it.
The show votes are expected to fail, but ahead of the eventual consideration of the president's $1.5 trillion Pentagon funding request, they'll put Republicans on the record about a military campaign that remains extremely unpopular among the American public.
Eric McDaniel, NPR News, Washington.
Democrats in Congress are going to force votes attempting to constrain the president on this war.
The Constitution, of course, gives Congress the power to declare war, although it hasn't worked that way in practice in quite a while.
Those votes are expected to fail, as have all of their past go rounds at this.
But the president's post about ending Iranian civilization before announcing that ceasefire last week.
Speaker Johnson last Friday panned the proposal that he's now asking Republicans to support.
This gambit that was done last night is a joke.
They voted down that plan from the Senate, and now he'll have to ask his members to support the same deal.
It funds DHS immediately, except for ICE and parts of Customs and Border Protection.
So folks like airport security can be paid in the short term, while a bigger three-year deal is worked out to fund all of DHS through the remainder of Trump's time in the White House.
