House Republicans reject Senate deal to end DHS shutdown

Season 2026 Episode 66 | 5m 51s

It's been a dramatic day in the halls of Congress. Early Friday, the Senate unanimously passed a plan to end the shutdown for most of the Department of Homeland Security. But within hours, Speaker Mike Johnson rejected it because it didn't include money for ICE and Border Patrol. House Republicans are now pushing a different approach and risking a longer shutdown. Lisa Desjardins reports.
