GOP fractures over DHS funding while Democrats block House Republican proposal

Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left

Summary

Senate Democrats signaled opposition to a House Republican continuing resolution aimed at ending the partial government shutdown Friday. The Republican-controlled Senate earlier approved a bipartisan bill funding most Department of Homeland Security operations while excluding Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but House GOP leadership rejected it as "garbage" and refused a vote. Instead, House Republicans proposed a 60-day continuing resolution for complete DHS funding. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stated the proposal would be "dead on arrival" in the chamber, lacking the 60 votes needed for passage. Schumer reiterated Democratic demands to fund critical DHS functions while refusing to provide unrestricted resources for immigration enforcement without reforms. The Senate remains in recess for over two weeks, leaving the shutdown unresolved and negotiations stalled between chambers over competing DHS funding proposals.Watch the video below.
