 GOP sources see Trump shifting to back Senate bill funding most of DHS
by Alexander Bolton - 04/01/26 6:00 AM ET

Senate Republican sources expect President Trump to get behind a Senate-passed bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) but not Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol, ending a tense standoff with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) that threatens to prolong a partial government shutdown for weeks.

Several Republican sources briefed on conversations with the White House say they expect Trump to endorse the Senate bill, even though it doesn’t fund ICE, as the quickest way to end the shutdown and begin work on a second budget reconciliation package to fund immigration enforcement and possibly the Pentagon as well.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) spoke to Trump on Monday to figure out a way through the impasse with House Republicans.

Sources cautioned that while Trump is now open to endorsing the Senate bill, which would give Johnson the green light to bring it to the House floor, he could change his mind.

“There’s a lot of pressure on Thune to figure out what our plan is on DHS,” a Senate GOP aide said. “The base is losing their mind. We’ve got to do something.”

Whenever Democrats control the Senate, Republicans cannot ever reach agreement on how to stop them. Democrats get their way.

Thune is deliberately reducing his time as leader of the Senate GOP as the Dems are surging due to his failures.

Could not J.D. Vance, acting in his position as President of the Senate, issue an order to reconvene the body...?

Dead girl or live boy.  Which is it?  Because it should be clear to everyone that he is being blackmailed.
