Don’t buy this narrative. The Senate has already passed a unanimous bill to fund all of DHS except ICE.
Mike Johnson blocked it. He could pass it today if he wanted. x.com/SenLummis/stat…

Analysis Summary
The Senate did pass a bipartisan DHS funding bill that excludes ICE, and Speaker Johnson has declined to bring it to a floor vote, citing concerns about the bill's language. Johnson's position is conditional — he's indicated he'd reconsider if progress is made on a separate reconciliation bill for immigration enforcement — so calling it a straight 'block' oversimplifies his stated reasoning. The broader context is that both chambers are at odds over how much immigration enforcement funding to bundle with DHS operations funding, with Johnson pushing for a linked $140 billion immigration crackdown bill rather than a separate DHS-only measure.
Claims Analysis (3)
“The Senate has already passed a unanimous bill to fund all of DHS except ICE”
Multiple sources confirm Senate passed a DHS funding bill excluding ICE. Guardian and NewsNation describe it as previously approved with bipartisan support.
“Mike Johnson blocked it”
Johnson has refused to bring it to a vote, citing 'problematic language.' This is functionally a block, though sources frame it as a conditional hold pending reconciliation progress.
“He could pass it today if he wanted”
Factually plausible — Johnson controls the floor — but framed as political judgment about his intentions rather than a verifiable fact.
