    DHS Getting the Axe? On Last Legs?

    Senate passes one-week DHS funding resolution

    The Senate on Friday evening passed a one-week continuing resolution to keep the Department of Homeland Security funded. The measure passed by a voice vote. The move came after the Republican leadership in the House had failed in its bid to pass a three-week continuing resolution. The House proposal failed by a vote of 203-224. The Senate's later move, amid a mood of deepening crisis at the Capitol, puts the ball back into the court of the House of Representatives. Absent new legislation, the Department of Homeland Security will shut down at midnight. Some Republicans believed that they could roll back President Obama's executive actions on immigration reform by threatening a DHS shutdown. Others in the party believed that was a high-risk strategy that could easily becaome a political defeat for the GOP.[More/Source]
