House Republican leadership signaled that they would refuse to vote on a Senate bill to end the partial government shutdown by funding most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

House Conference Chair Lisa McClain (R-MI) told NOTUS reporter Reese Gorman that the bill was "garbage" and that there would be no votes on the legislation.

If the bill does not pass the House, a partial government shutdown crippling the TSA could continue for days, as senators were not expected to return to Washington until April 13.
