House GOP rejects Senate bill on DHS funding, passes its own; U.S. faces record shutdown

The United States is on the brink of a record-breaking government shutdown as a deepening standoff between the House and Senate over funding for the Department of Homeland Security shows no signs of resolution.In a narrow 213–203 vote, House Republicans approved a short-term funding bill to keep DHS running until May 22, including funding for immigration enforcement agencies like ICE. The move effectively rejected a bipartisan Senate deal that had passed unanimously and could have ended the shutdown immediately.
