Senate Republicans have presented Democrats with a new funding proposal aimed at reopening the Department of Homeland Security, according to sources familiar with the negotiations.

The Republican plan would separate Immigration and Customs Enforcement funding from other department operations, potentially allowing the remainder of DHS to reopen while negotiations continue on the more contentious immigration enforcement portions.

The proposal comes amid ongoing discussions between Congress and the White House regarding funding for the department. Multiple sources indicate there is optimism among Senate Republicans about reaching a potential agreement.

The Transportation Security Administration, which falls under DHS oversight, would be among the agencies affected by any funding resolution. The department has faced operational challenges during the funding impasse.

The timing of the Republican proposal follows previous statements from President Trump indicating reluctance toward compromise measures, though negotiations appear to be continuing between congressional leadership and administration officials.
