House Republican leaders plan a Tuesday vote to pass a Senate-approved funding package aimed at reopening the government after a brief lapse in funding. Funding lapsed on Saturday amid disputes in Congress over Department of Homeland Security oversight. The Senate approved the package 71-29 to fund most of the government through Sept. 30. DHS would receive a separate two-week stopgap through Feb. 13 while further negotiations proceed.
Key facts:
- House leaders have scheduled a Tuesday vote on the Senate-approved funding bill.
- Funding lapsed on Saturday, creating a short interruption in federal funding.
- The Senate passed the measure 71-29 to fund most government operations through Sept. 30.
- DHS funding would be extended for two weeks to Feb. 13 while lawmakers negotiate changes to immigration enforcement oversight.
Summary:
If the House approves the measure, it would restore funding for most federal agencies and end the brief lapse. DHS would remain on a short-term extension while leaders continue negotiations between the White House and Senate Democrats. The next scheduled procedural step is the House vote on Tuesday.
