🚨NEWS: SENATE MAJORITY LEADER JOHN THUNE spoke to President DONALD TRUMP Sunday and offered to fund DHS -- without ICE.

THUNE said he'd fund ICE in a reconciliation package.

TRUMP rejected the offer. Said he wants Rs fighting Dems over DHS funding, SAVE Act.

Some Senate Rs and WH beginning to diverge as DHS shutdown nears 40 days.
