The standoff has raised concerns among Republican leaders about national security and border enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson criticized the Senate-backed funding proposal, arguing that it included &#8220;problematic language&#8221; that could weaken immigration enforcement efforts. While Senate Republicans have moved to push the funding through the reconciliation process, Johnson emphasized that the House will introduce a revised version designed to better support border security priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson underlined the urgency of the situation, saying, &#8220;We have to make sure immigration laws are enforced and the border is secure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The debate comes amid heightened tension in Washington following the recent security incident at the White House Correspondents&#8217; Association dinner. Some Republican lawmakers are now calling for more aggressive action to break the legislative impasse, including eliminating the Senate filibuster to advance DHS funding.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Ron Johnson said the current moment demands decisive leadership. &#8220;At a moment of national danger, if the Democrats refuse to fund DHS, it will be time to drop the nuclear bomb forever,&#8221; he said during a television interview.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned that emergency funding to pay DHS personnel could run out by the end of April, adding to the urgency of the negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump also urged Republicans to unite behind a Senate-passed budget blueprint that would fund ICE and CBP through reconciliation, bypassing Democratic opposition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRadical Left Democrats have shut down DHS since February 14th,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social. \u201cWe need all Republicans to join together and support this budget blueprint\u2026and only fund immigration enforcement with Republican votes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump called for swift action, setting a June 1 deadline to deliver a final bill to his desk, while stressing the importance of supporting law enforcement personnel who protect the country&#8217;s borders.<\/p>\n<p>As negotiations continue, the outcome of this legislative battle will play a key role in shaping U.S. immigration enforcement and national security policy in the coming months.<\/p>\n<div class=\"worthy-pray-wrap\" wp_automatic_readability=\"6\">\n            <button class=\"worthy-pray-cta\" type=\"button\" data-post=\"113992\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.worthynews.com\/113992-house-gop-pushes-new-dhs-funding-bill-as-border-security-fight-intensifies\" data-title=\"House GOP Pushes New DHS Funding Bill as Border Security Fight Intensifies\" aria-pressed=\"false\" aria-live=\"polite\"><\/p>\n<p>                lift it up in prayer<br \/>\n            <\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"worthy-pray-stats\" wp_automatic_readability=\"7\">\n                <img width=\"120\" height=\"120\" class=\"worthy-pray-icon-img\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" www.w3.org=\"\" 2000=\"\" svg\"%20viewbox=\"0%200%20120%20120\" %3e%3c=\"\" svg%3e\"=\"\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/worthynews-1fe3e.kxcdn.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/worthy-pray-button\/assets\/pray-icon.png\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" class=\"worthy-pray-icon-img\" src=\"https:\/\/worthynews-1fe3e.kxcdn.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/worthy-pray-button\/assets\/pray-icon.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    9                <\/p>\n<p>                    People are praying right now.\n                <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width:95%;margin:20px auto;padding:15px;border:2px solid #523F7D;border-radius:10px;background-color:#f5f5f5;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#333;line-height:1.6;\" wp_automatic_readability=\"13\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;font-size:16px;\">\n<p>    \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Do you know?<\/strong> One of the best ways you can support<br \/>\n    <span style=\"color:#523F7D;font-weight:bold;\">meaningful news<\/span> Simply by leaving a comment and sharing this article.\n  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:10px 0 0;font-size:16px;\">\n<p>    \ud83d\udce2 Social media algorithms push content when there is more engagement \u2013 \u200b\u200bso every \ud83d\udc4d like, \ud83d\udcac comment and \ud83d\udd04 share helps more people discover the truth. \ud83d\ude4c\n  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"descriptorhead\">latest lol news<\/h3>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 April 2026 | 8:31 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        House GOP pushes new DHS funding bill as border security fight intensifies\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 April 2026 | 6:10 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        IDF destroys massive Hezbollah tunnel in southern Lebanon amid ceasefire tensions\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 April 2026 | 5:49 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Trump welcomes King Charles to White House, highlights US-UK alliance\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 April 2026 | 5:28 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Trump claims Iran is in &#8220;collapse&#8221;
