House Democrats appear ready to back a bipartisan Senate deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Border Patrol — with some even saying they’re open to crossing the aisle to help Republicans hop the procedure hurdle that’s threatening to stall the process.

That legislation passed unanimously in the upper chamber in the early hours of Friday morning, sending it to the House, where it could be considered later in the day.

While Democrats are still crunching the details of the Senate bill, some said it looks very much like the proposal sponsored by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) to fund most of DHS — including the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), whose workers have gone without pay for almost six weeks through the shutdown — but not ICE or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Democrats have sought to force a vote on that bill via a discharge petition, but have lacked the GOP support to make it successful. “ (I)t sounds very similar to the discharge petition almost all of us as Democrats have already signed,” Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) said Friday morning, referring to the Senate bill. He cautioned that Democrats will still need to meet as a group ahead of any votes, but predicted that GOP leaders face the tougher lift in terms of convincing members of their party to back the agreement.

1. The problem isn't the Democrats, it is the rethugs in the house under johnson..

2. The NYT just published the story about a "revolt" among House Repukes

I'm sure it will be posted on the LBN any minute now. BRDS is probably working on the story at this moment.

So you called it, if this fails it's not because of the Democrats....

3. The question is will voters realize that?

5. Because of the current split of (D) vs (R) in the House is so close

if all (D)s vote for the Senate bill, all they need is a handful of (R)s to crossover and it's done (unless 45 vetoes it).

Mikie knows that and he will do all he can to keep that from coming to the floor for a vote to obstruct - but then it will all be on HIM because the Senate vote was UNANIMOUS.

4. I Thought House Thugs Were Bypassing...

the Senate bill and doing their own thing. ...like obstructionist morans.

6. They are attempting to do that by proposing another short term C.R. for DHS

(the current shutdown is due to the earlier DHS C.R. expiring at the end of January)
