There's NO spending deal after White House and Speaker Mike Johnson remain divided on how to fund DHS and southern border: Chaotic Congress torpedoes toward another government shutdown in just 5 DAYS

Five days from a government shutdown, Congress and the White House remain at an impasse over how to move forward on the second half of federal spending for fiscal year 2024. 

The hangup is over the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) portion of a package that would fund six agencies of government. 

Republicans had wanted to write a full year continuing resolution, or CR, for DHS, continuing funding for the agency at 2023 levels. But the White House and Democrats say that funding is not sufficient and want more leeway to spend funds as they see fit. 

Negotiators for Speaker Mike Johnson and President Biden worked over the weekend on a spending bill that would fund six agencies of government  

Funding negotiations for State-Foreign Operations, Defense, Labor-HHS, Legislative Branch and Financial Services-General Government are essentially wrapped up. 

Negotiators had hoped to release the text of the so-called minibus, which wrapped six appropriations bills into one package, on Sunday. It's now unclear when they'll release it. 

They need to give lawmakers 72 hours to read over the text, meaning even if they release text on Monday it would come up for a vote in the House on Thursday, one day before the deadline for a partial government shutdown. Lawmakers previously set deadlines of March 8 four government agencies and March 22 to fund the other eight in their fourth CR to kick the deadline down the road. 

Government funding for 2024 was supposed to be wrapped up by the start of the fiscal year, October 1.

The White House made an 11th-hour request for an additional $1.56 billion in funding, a source familiar with talks confirmed to DailyMail.com, which would be an increase over the 2023 level of $61.8 billion amid a swell of migrant crossings.

Republicans shot down the ask, arguing it was not sufficiently died to border security enforcement. 

Meanwhile, Republicans are demanding more money for detention facilities and migrant beds and Democrats are demanding a pay raise for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers. 

The White House wants more leeway for 'anomalies' to make sure they can shift around funding as new problems emerge. Anomalies are 'exceptions to the duration, amount, or purposes.'

Southern border crossings reached a record 302,000 in December before falling to 124,000 in January and 140,000 in February. 

The bill is also expected to include restrictions on funding for the U.N.’s Palestinian refugee agency, commonly referred to as UNRWA, after Israel claimed 12 of the agency's 30,000 employees were believed to have colluded with Hamas in the October 7 attack. 

Congress previously passed a $460 billion funding deal on March 8 just hours before the money allocated for the agencies ran out.

The deal 'secured key conservative policy victories' in the roughly $460 billion measure despite a 'divided government' and rejected 'left-wing proposals,' Speaker Johnson said at the time.

That bill included funding for six federal agencies - including Commerce-Justice-Science, Energy-Water, Interior-Environment, Military Construction-VA and Transportation-HUD. 

It also imposed 'deep cuts' to the EPA (10%), ATF (7%) and FBI (6%), which Johnson said has 'threatened our freedoms and our economy.'

The next votes in the House are expected at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday for legislative business.
