<p>House Republican leaders seem poised to kill the Department of Homeland Security shutdown deal passed by the Senate early on Friday morning.</p>
<p>The Senate bill would fund all elements of DHS except for ICE and Border Patrol, with no immigration reforms made. However, many House Republicans have strongly opposed the deal passed by the Senate, arguing it caves to the Democrats.</p>
<p>“We are not playing their games. These people want open borders, and they want criminal illegal aliens in the country,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said of Democrats while addressing reporters on Friday.</p>
<p>Johnson said Trump “supports” the plan, noting that this will be the fourth time the House has voted to fund DHS. The Daily Wire reached out to the White House for comment.</p>
<p>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that a continuing resolution proposal would not succeed in the Senate, calling it “dead on arrival.”</p>
<p>“Senate Democrats worked with Senate Republicans to reach a UNANIMOUS agreement to fund vital functions at DHS, including TSA, FEMA, CISA, and secure our ports of entry,” Schumer said in a <a href="https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/2037581253365412224?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.</p>
<p>“We&#8217;ve been clear from day one: Democrats will fund critical Homeland Security functions — but we will not give a blank check to Trump&#8217;s lawless and deadly immigration militia without reforms,” the Democrat added.</p>
<p>Some members, like Rep. <a href="https://x.com/RepOgles/status/2037508704786952385?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andy Ogles</a> (R-TN), want to see voter identification added to a DHS funding bill, as the Senate struggles to pass the SAVE America Act, which is considered the top legislative priority of the president.</p>
<p>Rep. <a href="https://x.com/RepMarkHarrisNC/status/2037552402992169048?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Harris</a> (R-NC) even explicitly blamed Senate Republicans for backing the deal made.</p>
<p>“I am done with Senate Republicans. Their failure to fully fund DHS is not just disappointing — it’s a disgrace,” Harris posted to X. “They refused to fund ICE units that target sex traffickers. They refused to fund Border Patrol agents. And where is the SAVE America Act?”</p>
<p>“Once again, they have failed the American people. They have made one thing clear: Americans’ safety is not their priority,” he added.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, some Republicans in the House, like Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD) and Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL), argued that the House pursuing an alternative solution would only delay funding the department, according to the <a href="https://x.com/Olivia_Beavers/status/2037572638474661936?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wall Street Journal</a>.</p>
<p>On the Senate side, Senate Majority Leader <a href="https://x.com/LeaderJohnThune/status/2037562792153137425?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Thune</a> posted to X on Friday that “Dems got ZERO restrictions that would prevent ICE and CBP agents from doing their jobs safely.”</p>
<p>“Dem leadership has proven once again they can’t be trusted to make a deal,” Thune continued. “Which begs the question if you’re a Dem senator or one of their left-wing supporters: What was this really all about?”</p>
