House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Sen. John Thune (R-SD) were at odds Friday after the Senate passed its DHS bill overnight to try to end the ongoing partial government shutdown.

Johnson announced on Friday that he would set forward his own legislation, which does not have enough support to pass, after the Senate bill passed, and called it "a joke." He said he wouldn't support it, despite the Senate Republicans' vote to support the bill to fund all agencies under the Department of Homeland Security except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. DHS has been unfunded since February due to disputes over ICE and CBP’s often violent operations.

Mike Johnson melts down at Senate Republicans over TSA deal: 'This gambit is a joke!'

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) addressed reporters following the House GOP's move to vote down Friday's bipartisan Senate legislation funding all of the Department of Homeland Security aside from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol — an agreement made as both parties want to get stalled functions like the TSA back to normal while the debate over immigration enforcement reforms continues.

"The Republicans are not going to be any part of any effort to reopen our borders or to stop immigration enforcement," said Johnson. "We are going to deport dangerous criminal illegal aliens because it is a basic function of the government. The Democrats fundamentally disagree. The Senate Democrats have foisted upon this appropriations process their radical, crazy agenda."
