Mike Johnson caves to John Thune in DHS standoff

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) put out a joint statement with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), effectively surrendering in the standoff on Department of Homeland Security funding and agreeing to pass the bipartisan Senate funding bill that reopens the agency without Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Border Patrol funding.

This comes after House Republicans blocked the same legislation on Friday, which had passed the Senate by a voice vote with no objection from either party.
