Congress has until Friday at midnight to pass six spending bills and avert a government shutdown.
The White House threatened to reject a congressional proposal to fund the Department of Homeland Security, sending lawmakers back to the budget negotiation table.
A Democratic aide told NBC News that the White House did not flat-out reject the DHS bill, but the dispute has sent lawmakers back to the drawing board, delaying the release of legislative text on the budget and slowing an already down-to-the-wire voting timeline. Despite the obstacles and the looming DHS hiccup, negotiations on all of the five other bills are"wrapped up," the GOP aide said. That includes disagreements about funding UNRWA, the United Nations aid agency for Palestinian refugees, which Republicans wanted to block.
