Senate, White House start to coalesce around ending DHS shutdown amid TSA delays

According to a White House official speaking on condition of anonymity on Tuesday, talks are still underway, but "this deal seems to be acceptable." President Donald Trump has said he wants to not only fund DHS but include other changes such as prohibitions on transgender care and a voter-ID measure.

The apparent breakthrough comes amid swelling Transportation Security Administration lines at airports , as agents are facing a second missed paycheck this week and are skipping work.

The Trump administration this week deployed ICE agents to some U.S.

airports in what it described as a bid to assist TSA agents.

Republican lawmakers met Monday night at the White House with Trump to discuss a deal.

Majority Leader John Thune .

R-S.D., told reporters Tuesday that "the meeting yesterday went well and we're proceeding."
DHS funding lapsed in February, the month after federal agents shot and killed two U.S.

citizens in Minneapolis as part of an immigration enforcement surge.

Timing for an official proposal remains unclear.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer , D-N.Y., said from the Senate floor on Tuesday that Democrats are awaiting a written proposal, calling the situation at airports "untenable."
"Fortunately, it seems like things are getting back on track this morning," Schumer said.

"Donald Trump, perhaps realizing that Democrats will block voter suppression in the Senate, seems to have gotten over his temper tantrum."
"Republicans can hopefully now come back to the table and get serious about reaching a solution to pay TSA workers ASAP," Schumer said.

Sen.

John Hoeven , R-N.D., said after leaving a meeting in Thune's office on Tuesday that Republicans were "ready to go." He called on Democrats, who are also seeking ICE immigration enforcement changes in exchange for their support, to "quit moving around."
"So the Democrats need to join us," Hoeven said.

"We need to pay these TSA agents."
Hoeven said he had talked to Lee and that negotiators will continue to engage him.

""All these things are a work in progress.

Building consensus takes some time," Hoeven said.
