Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-KY, said late Thursday that senators will vote on a so-called “clean” bill that deals solely with funding the department.
The House and Senate have been at an impasse for days, with Democrats and some moderate Republicans slamming conservative Republicans for holding funding hostage in order to block the president’s executive actions on immigration.
Without funding, parts of the Department of Homeland Security would shut down.
