Senate GOP says Trump signals shift to backing DHS compromise with Democrats [View all]
(The Hill) Senate Republicans believe President Trump is willing to accept a potential deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) following a White House meeting Monday night.
It would be a significant shift for Trump, who over the weekend repeatedly said he would not make a deal with Democrats unless they moved separate voting legislation known as the SAVE America Act.
But Trump signaled he is open to a deal to reopen the Homeland Security Department even if it doesn’t fully fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a two-hour meeting at the White House Monday evening, according to GOP senators briefed on the meeting.
A Senate Republican source familiar with the discussion said Trump is willing to separate funding for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations from the Homeland Security appropriations bill in order to get enough Democratic support.
