The Senate's compromise to end the ongoing partial government shutdown survived an important hurdle on Monday night, setting up the legislation for a vote in the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
The House Rules Committee, the final gatekeeper before most bills get a vote, advanced the upper chamber's deal with the White House.
The deal, if passed, is for two wees, giving lawmakers time for more bipartisan negotiations on a longer-term deal.
The Republican majority in the House shrunk even further on Monday when Speaker Mike Johnson swore in new Houston area Congressman Christian Menefee, who told Bloomberg that he wants to abolish ICE in an interview on Monday.
