The House voted to pass a short-term funding patch for the Department of Homeland Security late Friday night, rebelling against a plan from Senate Republicans that omitted funding for immigration enforcement agencies.
House Republican leaders pushed a bill, through a rare procedural vote that bypassed an hour of debate and a second vote, that would fund all of DHS until May 22. The move punts the burden to reopen DHS back to the Senate, which left for its scheduled two-week recess on Friday after sending over their bipartisan deal that was swiftly rejected by lower chamber Republicans.
