WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday took no action on a compromise measure that would end the partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. Later that morning, the House convened for a pro forma session lasting just shy of three minutes and did not take up a Senate-passed bill to restore funding to much of the department.

DHS has been without funding since mid-February, a lapse that has become the longest such funding lapse in history. Democrats refused to vote for DHS appropriations unless Republicans agreed to new guardrails on federal agents involved in immigration enforcement operations. Talks between Senate and House negotiators were deadlocked until last week, when the parties announced a deal.

The Senate had passed a measure funding most of DHS but excluding Immigration and Customs Enforcement and elements of Customs and Border Protection. House Republicans rejected that bill and instead passed their own legislation funding the entire department for 60 days. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson then agreed to drop the House's funding bill and advance the Senate-passed measure.

Under the plan backed by Thune and Johnson, Republicans would work with Democrats to pass the Senate's DHS funding bill and then begin writing a separate measure funding ICE and Customs and Border Protection unilaterally through the budget reconciliation process. Donald Trump endorsed the plan and said he wants the measure on his desk by June 1.

On Thursday morning, Thune appeared at a brief ceremonial session in the Senate, formally rejected the House measure, and sent the Senate's version back to the House. No lawmakers from either party appeared in the House chamber during the Thursday ceremonial session to object to the motions. Both chambers are on recess through next week.

Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the delay. "House Republicans own the longest government shutdown in history," Schumer said. "The deep division and dysfunction among House Republicans is needlessly extending the DHS shutdown and hurting federal workers who are missing another paycheck."

Some House Republicans also objected to the compromise. "Funding for ICE and CBP must never be separated from DHS funding," said Keith Self, a member of the House Freedom Caucus. "If Republicans isolate it, they're handing our border and ICE agents straight to the radicals who will defund and dismantle them every chance they get."

At one point, security lines at some major airports stretched for hours after Transportation Security Administration agents went weeks without pay. Trump signed an order for TSA agents to receive paychecks, and security lines at major airports have shortened in the days since.
