Iran strikes become leverage for GOP push on DHS funding without reforms

Republicans are leveraging Iran’s strikes to push the House and Senate to quickly fund the Department of Homeland Security, arguing that homeland security should be funded now and should take precedence over Democrats’ reform demands (like changes to ICE/CBP). The GOP plans another DHS funding vote this week as negotiations continue, while Democrats insist any funding should accompany policy reforms and remain wary of a potential shutdown amid the ongoing dispute.
