House conservatives erupt over Senate GOP, White House deal amid SAVE Act fight

Senate Republicans are eyeing a second "big, beautiful bill" via the budget reconciliation process aimed at funding portions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that would likely get little to no Democratic support.

But a growing contingent of House Republicans who are refusing to vote for any Senate-led legislation are crying foul on that portion of the plan.

"This is gaslighting.

The American people are not stupid and will not accept more failure theater from Republicans in Congress."
He made an exception for funding DHS, however, particularly if the final Senate bill was a modified version of that which the House already passed in January.

Republican senators huddled with President Donald Trump and others at the White House late on Monday, and emerged hopeful that an end to the shutdown could be in sight.

The remainder of DHS would be funded via a bipartisan deal that could be released as soon as Tuesday.

But the budget reconciliation process is a long and politically arduous path that could take months — a particularly difficult feat in an election year.

There's also been skepticism in both the House and Senate that Republicans' razor-thin majorities could unite enough to pass another massive bill, like the one signed into law by Trump in July that mainly dealt with his tax plans.

A source familiar with the House Freedom Caucus's thinking also panned the prospective deal to Fox News Digital.

It would put the group at odds with not only Republican leaders in the Senate, but potentially the White House as well.

A White House official told Fox News Digital before the deal became official that, "Conversations are ongoing, but this deal seems to be acceptable."
