Republicans in the U.S. House quashed any hopes that the 42-day shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security would end Friday.
The Senate’s last-minute deal early Friday to fund all DHS agencies except ICE and parts of Border Patrol hit a wall with House Republicans, who viewed it as a capitulation to Democrats.
“What the Senate just sent over to the House is so laughably bad, we’re rejecting it out of hand,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, announced. “[W]e’re not going to move this Senate bill. We’re going to move something better and send it back to the Senate.”
