The six-week Department of Homeland Security shutdown will continue until at least mid-April after House Republicans rejected a Senate-passed partial funding bill in favor of a stopgap measure that lacks the Democratic support needed to become law.

The record airport security wait times caused by Transportation Administration agents calling out of work are likely to dissipate, however, after President Trump signed an executive order Friday ordering DHS to find another stream of funding to pay TSA agents. Those paychecks are expected to begin going out on Monday.

The House passed the eight-week DHS stopgap spending measure late Friday night in a 213-203 mostly party-line vote.

Immediately afterwards, the House adjourned and joined the Senate in leaving Washington for a two-week recess for the Easter and Passover holidays.

House Republicans rejected the Senate-passed DHS appropriations bill because it did not include funding for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol.

“These are dangerous times in America. This is not the time to defund the police, to defund the Department of Homeland Security, at any level,” said House Majority Steve Scalise, Louisiana Republican.

The shutdown has not impacted immigration enforcement because Republicans passed $170 billion in multi-year funding for DHS to use toward that purpose as part of their One Big Beautiful Bill Act last summer.

ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents have continued to get paid during the shutdown through that funding, which is the pot of money the administration expected to tap to pay TSA agents.

“ICE is being funded. Stop the BS. Stop the misinformation that somehow ICE is not being funded,” Rep. Jim McGovern, Massachusetts Democrat, said to Republicans during floor debate on the stopgap.

Three Democrats – Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Don Davis of North Carolina and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington state – voted with Republicans in support of the measure.

“Walking away from DHS funding will not fix anything about ICE and it screws a lot of hard-working people,” Ms. Gluesenkamp Perez said. “Ideological purity that empowers a broken system and hurts working people is not what I was sent to Congress to be part of.”

Other Democrats voted against it and criticized Republicans for blocking the Senate bill, which passed by voice vote early Friday without any senator objecting.

“They know this is a continuation of the shutdown. The Senate is gone,” said House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts. “They’re saying we want status quo, that we are so eager to keep ICE going exactly as they’re operating in their reckless and unlawful and violent way, that’s our priority over that of the American people.”

Senate Democrats have filibustered a full-year DHS funding bill that the House passed in January, after immigration enforcement agents killed U.S. citizen Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, the second such death after Renee Good.

They demanded a series of immigration policy changes, such as requiring agents to de-mask and wear identification, use judicial warrants for arrests on private property and avoid schools, hospitals and other “sensitive locations.”

Republicans and the White House tried to negotiate with Democrats and offered compromise on some of the proposals, such as agent identification and sensitive locations, but a deal never came together.

Senate Republicans then tried to pass a DHS funding bill that removed $5.5 billion for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division, but Democrats still objected.

The bill the Senate ultimately passed did not include any funding for ICE, including its Homeland Security Investigations that conducts human trafficking investigations. The measure also did not fund any immigration and border security functions of Customs and Border Protection, only the customs functions.

“This gamut that was done last night is a joke,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, Louisiana Republican, said Friday afternoon. “It is unconscionable to me that the Democrats would force some sort of negotiation at three o’clock in the morning and try to hoist this among the American people, and then get on their jets and go home for their holiday and pretend and think that we’re going to go along with that.”

Mr. Johnson called the GOP’s eight-week stopgap measure funding all of DHS the “the right thing, morally, legally and politically.”

The speaker said later Friday that he talked to Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota and that a GOP senator will try to pass the stopgap during a Monday pro forma session.

A Democratic senator is expected to object, as Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer warned the stopgap “is dead on arrival in the Senate.”

“We’ve been clear from day 1: Democrats will fund critical Homeland Security functions — but we will not give a blank check to Trump’s lawless and deadly immigration militia without reforms,” the New York Democrat said.

Congress is not set to return to Washington until the week of April 13.

Over the next two weeks, tens of thousands of DHS workers will continue working during that time without pay, and non-essential department functions will remain paused.

Senate Republicans said they relented to Democrats and agreed not to fund ICE or border patrol in the annual appropriations bill to end the shutdown for other DHS agencies, including TSA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Coast Guard and Secret Service.

Mr. Thune said ICE and CBP are funded through the OBBB and will get even more funding in a second GOP budget reconciliation package.

Mr. Johnson, who for months has pushed for a second reconciliation package amid doubts from Mr. Thune and others that Republicans could cobble enough votes to pass one, changed his tune on Friday and called the reconciliation effort “a very difficult task” and “a high risk gamble.”

House Republicans also said the suggestion that all of ICE and CBP are funded by the OBBB is not true.

“First-line staff are being mostly funded … but it leaves out civilian and support staff,” Texas GOP Rep. Chip Roy said.

Mr. Cuellar, the lead Democratic appropriator for DHS, told reporters that the administration has the authority to tap the OBBB funding to pay ICE and CBP support staff.
