March 17 (UPI) -- The White House is reviewing a proposal from Senate Democrats to fund the Department of Homeland Security.

The White House submitted its most recent offer to Democrats more than two weeks ago, and Democrats shared their counteroffer Monday, Republicans familiar with the talks told The Hill.

Senate Republican leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters that the White House was making concessions.

"I was going over last night some of the gives that the White House had made that went above and beyond any initial offers that they put out there, and there's a lot of stuff in there," Thune said.
