The House bill would temporarily fund the entire department. House Republicans have raised concerns that the Senate bill does not include the Save America Act — a sweeping voting bill championed by Trump that House Republicans have demanded the Senate pass — and that it would not appropriate money for the administration’s deportation efforts. Senate Democrats have already said that’s not going to happen. “Senate Democrats worked with Senate Republicans to reach a UNANIMOUS agreement to fund vital functions at DHS,” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-New York) said in a statement Friday. That same day, he ordered ICE agents to deploy to major airports to help manage security lines, but the effort has done little to alleviate delays.
