House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said on March 27 he is putting forth a short-term bill to fund all of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for 60 days, instead of the Senate-passed measure to fund most of DHS except its immigration enforcement operations.

“This gambit that was done last night is a joke. I’m quite convinced that it can’t be that every Senate Republican read the language of this bill,” he told reporters.
