Delays with the Homeland Security funding bill run the risk of derailing the appropriations process and triggering a partial government shutdown.
House and Senate appropriations negotiators have yet to release a deal on the second slate of funding bills, including that for the Department of Homeland Security, which is the main issue dragging out discussions, sources told Fox News Digital on Monday. Bills to fund the departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Labor, and Health and Human Services, as well as Financial Services and General Government, the legislative branch, and State and Foreign Operations are due on March 22.
According to the source, five of the measures are 'essentially done.' The DHS bill has delayed the entire process, however. With no definite release date for the texts of the various funding bills, congressional negotiators run the risk of failing to pass the package before the Friday deadline. This would trigger a partial government shutdown, excluding the portions of the government that were funded in the last slate of bills.
The bills are making their way through Congress as the national debt recently surpassed $34 trillion and is nearing $34.5 trillion. The funding deadlines of March 8 and 22 were agreed to via a continuing resolution late last month, which became the fourth such stopgap measure since the original Sept. 30 deadline for fiscal 2024 appropriations.
