GOP leaders outline funding compromise separating ICE provisions as bipartisan negotiations intensify to resolve five-week standoff
WASHINGTON, D.C. | Senate Republicans are expressing renewed optimism that a deal to end the five-week Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown is within reach following a high-stakes meeting with President Donald Trump, signaling a potential shift in strategy after days of stalled negotiations.
A group of key GOP senators — including Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Sen. Steve Daines of Montana, and Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio — met with the president Monday to present a revised framework aimed at reopening the agency while navigating deep partisan divisions over immigration policy.
“We do,” Britt told reporters when asked whether a solution had been reached, adding she would be “working through the night” to finalize details. Her remarks reflect growing confidence among Republican negotiators that a breakthrough could materialize before the end of the week.
