The Biden administration is objecting to congressional leaders’ earlier plans to fund Homeland Security appropriations with a stopgap measure through Sept. 30, throwing a wrench into efforts to release the final fiscal 2024 appropriations package Sunday, sources familiar with the delay said.
The White House’s late ask for an extra $1.56 billion in border-related resources and reluctance to otherwise back the full-year continuing resolution under discussion for DHS was behind the latest hangup, these people said.
However, White House and congressional staff were meeting Sunday to discuss options, and sources said offers are being exchanged as lawmakers continued to work toward a solution.
