House Speaker Mike Johnson faces tough days ahead trying to muscle a federal funding package to passage and prevent a prolonged partial government shutdown as debate intensifies over the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration enforcement operations. Johnson signaled he is relying on help from President Donald Trump, who struck a deal with senators to separate Homeland Security money from a broader funding package amid outrage over shooting deaths during protests in Minneapolis. The Senate-approved plan would fund DHS temporarily through Feb. 13, setting up a deadline for Congress to try to find consensus on new restrictions on ICE operations.
