WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Senate unanimously passed a bill early Friday to fund all of the Department of Homeland Security except Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. President Donald Trump did not weigh in publicly on either the Senate bill or the House stopgap measure to fund the Department of Homeland Security.

The Department of Homeland Security is in the midst of the longest shutdown of a federal department in U.S. history. House Speaker Mike Johnson described the Senate bill as a "joke" and refused to bring it to the floor.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson believed they had President Donald Trump's blessing for their respective Department of Homeland Security funding bills. Johnson sought to absolve Senate Majority Leader John Thune and blame the stalled bill solely on Senate Democrats.

The Senate convened for a pro forma session and did not attempt to bring up the House-passed Department of Homeland Security funding bill.

Senators Rick Scott and Mike Lee called for canceling the recess and passing a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security without Democratic votes, which would require eliminating the legislative filibuster.

"They should terminate the filibuster and they should vote. That's what I think. I think the Senate is playing it too soft." said President Donald Trump in a television interview. Senate Republicans have made clear for more than a year that they will not eliminate the legislative filibuster. "With the division and intransigence among Republicans it is clear that this is a Republican shutdown." said a spokesperson for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Travelers reported feeling sympathetic to airline workers and frustrated with politicians in Washington during long lines and delays at airports during the Department of Homeland Security shutdown.
