House and Senate Republican leaders announced a plan to end the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown, which has caused airport delays. The plan involves funding DHS through two tracks: the appropriations process and the reconciliation process. The Senate is expected to pass a bill it approved last week, while a separate party-line budget reconciliation bill would fund ICE and Customs and Border Protection. President Trump urged Republicans to pass the bill by June 1. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the delay, while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries supported ending the shutdown. The plan aims to ensure federal workers are paid and fund immigration enforcement for three years.
