Mike Johnson and John Thune proposed a two-track legislative plan to end the longest Department of Homeland Security shutdown in US history.The strategy uses standard appropriations for most agencies while employing budget reconciliation to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement without Democratic support.This move follows a two-month deadlock sparked by a fatal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis that prompted opposition to border agency funding.Although lawmakers are currently on recess, the new approach seeks to bypass the Senate filibuster to restore pay for federal workers.
