Some areas of the government have already been funded, but spending for the departments of War, Transportation (DOT), Health and Human Services (HHS), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), among others, is now in question.
House Democrats do not feel bound by the deal their counterparts in the Senate struck with President Donald Trump's White House, the sources told Fox News Digital.
The sources said House Democrats are also frustrated that Schumer put them in a position where they were expected to take the deal on.
TRUMP, SCHUMER REACH GOVERNMENT FUNDING DEAL, SACRIFICE DHS SPENDING BILL IN THE PROCESS
"Democrat division creates another government shutdown," one House Republican told Fox News Digital.
But it could be difficult for House GOP leaders to corral all the votes needed as well. Multiple Republicans have already expressed concerns about the compromise requiring them to negotiate with Democrats on reining in Trump's immigration crackdown, while others like Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., are pushing their own priorities to be included in exchange for their support.
Luna told Fox News Digital that she would not support the legislation if it did not include an unrelated measure that would require proof of citizenship in the voter registration process, a separate but widely-accepted GOP bill.

But Jeffries made no promises on the deal after it passed the Senate Friday, saying in a public statement, "The House Democratic Caucus will evaluate the spending legislation passed by the Senate on its merits and then decide how to proceed legislatively."

A failure to move forward with the plan quickly risks the limitation or pausing of paychecks for military service members, airport workers, as well as putting funding for natural disaster management and federal healthcare services into question.
Fox News Digital reached out to Jeffries, Schumer, and Johnson's offices for further comment but did not immediately hear back.
