The House of Representatives on Friday approved a short-term funding bill to keep the Department of Homeland Security operating through May 22, intensifying a standoff with the Senate over how to end the ongoing shutdown.

The measure, backed by Speaker Mike Johnson, passed in a 213–203 vote, with all Republicans and three Democrats supporting the bill.

Unlike a Senate proposal passed earlier in the day, the House plan fully funds all DHS components, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection—agencies at the center of the political dispute.

The Senate’s version would fund DHS through September but excludes money for ICE and parts of CBP, reflecting Democratic demands for changes to immigration enforcement practices.

The competing approaches have exposed divisions not only between Democrats and Republicans but also within the GOP. Johnson dismissed the Senate bill as inadequate, criticizing its omission of border security funding.

Three Democrats—Don Davis, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, and Henry Cuellar—broke with their party to support the House measure.

The next steps remain uncertain. The Senate has already begun a two-week recess, leaving open the question of whether lawmakers will return to Washington to consider the House bill or allow the shutdown to continue.

The impasse prolongs a funding crisis that has stretched into its second month, with immigration enforcement policy still the central point of contention between the two chambers.
