The bill that Republicans are now agreeing to support is the exact same one that the Senate passed in the middle of the night last Friday.

What it does is it funds all of DHS except for ICE and CBP.

And now Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Democrats are going to get zero of those ICE reforms they had been demanding.

The Senate set aside the House-passed DHS funding bill, which would have funded all of DHS for 60 days.

And instead, they repassed their own bipartisan Senate deal, which partially funds DHS, with $0 for ICE and CBP.

They then sent that over to the House.

President Trump is not waiting for an agreement from Congress and says instead he will sign an order to pay Department of Homeland Security employees who have missed paychecks for the past 48 days.

His announcement comes after top Republicans in the House and Senate agreed to move forward on a two-step approach to fully fund the department without reforms to ICE and Border Patrol demanded by Democrats.

In a social media post, the president says families have suffered for far too long.

The order would apply to FEMA staff and members of the U.S.

Coast Guard.

Last week, President Trump signed a similar order to restart pay for TSA agents after many had called out of work, leading to record-long security lines at major airports.

House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune say each chamber will take a two-step approach to end the funding lapse for the Department of Homeland Security.

The plan, detailed in a joint statement from the two leaders, would advance most of DHS funding through a spending plan already agreed to in the Senate.

Spending for immigration and border enforcement would be handled in a parallel bill using a budget tool to get around Senate filibuster rules.

It would not include the reforms to ICE sought by Democrats.
