House passes full DHS funding through May 22, Senate says move is dead on arrival
House Republicans passed a short-term funding bill to extend the entire DHS budget through May 22, but Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer immediately dismissed the measure as "dead on arrival." The move prolonged the shutdown, now in its 42nd day, as Democrats refused to fund ICE and CBP without operational reforms. (House Republican Leadership, Mar. 28, 2026)
