House's Bid to End Partial Shutdown Gets Tougher
WASHINGTON-Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) faces a tougher-than-expected vote to end a partial government shutdown this week, after House Democrats pushing for sweeping changes to immigration enforcement signaled they wouldn't help Republicans pass any funding measures through the narrowly divided chamber.
Johnson, with a 218-213 majority, will need to keep almost all Republicans on board or risk the shutdown that started Saturday stretching deep into the week. The measure, endorsed by President Trump, funds swaths of the government for the rest of the fiscal year, while providing a two-week extension for the Department of Homeland Security-which contains immigration-enforcement agencies. The extension is intended to jump-start talks on reining in enforcement officials' practices.
