Committee last night.
– Hold-outs are demanding warrant requirements for US data caught up in the program.
– The Senate may move first now, cloture was filed last week.
DHS FUNDING
– DHS runs out of the paycheck money it found *this week*.
– Reminder the agency has been in a technical shutdown for *72 DAYS*
– Democrats triggered this over ICE conduct.
– But House Republicans have now eclipsed the attention on Democrats … and given them a chance to turn the tables … because House GOP is blocking a Senate-passed bill to fund most of DHS. That, until a separate ICE/Border Patrol funding measure to move (more below).
