GOP leaders duke it out over DHS funding

House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are clashing over Homeland Security funding, complicating efforts to end a 72-day government shutdown. Johnson seeks to modify a Senate-passed bill to secure House votes, while Thune emphasizes ensuring proper funding. The dispute centers on language zeroing out ICE and Border Patrol funding in the Senate bill, with potential delays until mid-May if reconciliation is delayed.
