House GOP Rejects Senate-Drafted DHS Funding Bill, Proposes Alternative Plan

House Republicans Reject DHS Funding Bill, Draft Alternative

The US House of Representatives has rejected a bill passed by the Senate that would provide funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The rejection comes as the White House orders pay for TSA workers.

According to reports, the House GOP has drafted an alternative proposal. The details of this new plan are not yet available.

The DHS shutdown is expected to continue due to the disagreement between the two chambers of Congress. The Senate had passed a bill that would provide funding for the department, but it was rejected by the House.

The White House has issued a statement ordering pay for TSA workers, which could potentially extend the shutdown.

A number of news outlets have reported on the development, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, CNBC, Al Jazeera, and Politico.
