Congressional leaders have reached a deal on Homeland Security funding, according to multiple reports Monday night. Details of the bill have not been released, and sources describe it as an “agreement in principle,” but if it holds it would avert a partial government shutdown before Friday’s funding deadline.
Congressional leaders have struck a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the remainder of fiscal year 2024, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hill, closing out the six bills due by Friday’s shutdown deadline.
Negotiators are still working out the details and legislative text of the DHS agreement, the source said, but the DHS legislation will be a full-year bill and not a stopgap, which lawmakers were eyeing over the weekend.
