Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has received funding updates as lawmakers consider different approaches to address the agency’s budget.
According to reports, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that the House will vote on its own stopgap plan for DHS, rather than the Senate-approved bill. This move comes after House Republicans expressed concerns with Johnson’s decision-making process regarding the agency’s funding.
Meanwhile, President Trump has signed an executive order to pay TSA workers, who are currently without pay due to a government shutdown. The House of Representatives had previously rejected the Senate-approved bill for DHS funding, which would have included funding for ICE and border patrol agencies.
In a rare overnight session, the Senate unanimously moved to fund most of DHS, except for ICE and border patrol, in an effort to avoid a government shutdown. However, this move does not address the ongoing dispute over the agency’s budget.
The House Rules Committee has set a quick timeline for action on the stopgap plan, which is expected to be voted on soon. The outcome of these developments will have implications for DHS funding and the broader impact on national security.
Lawmakers are continuing to navigate the complexities of DHS funding, with different approaches being considered in both the House and Senate.
