Representative Gill: Democrats Need to Negotiate in Good Faith to Avoid a Government Shutdown

Democrats oppose the bundled Homeland Security funding bill due to missing ICE reforms and recent federal agent shootings, increasing risk of a partial shutdown, Senate leaders say.

  • Senate Democrats are blocking the bundled DHS measure, with support withheld over DHS funding concerns, ahead of the Jan. 30, 2026 deadline.
  • During negotiations in recent weeks, Democrats pushed for tougher ICE reforms after the Jan. 7 shooting of Renee Good, and opposition intensified following Alex Pretti's weekend killing.
  • The DHS portion of the bill totals $60 billion, Rep. Brandon Gill said, covering TSA, FEMA, the U.S. Coast Guard and other emergency services.
  • A partial funding lapse would furlough some federal employees in six agencies after Jan. 30, while lawmakers say the House of Representatives limited risk by voting separately on DHS.
  • Senate Democrats, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, urged Republicans to rewrite and separate the DHS bill, while Republicans highlight prior ICE funding of $75 billion over four years amid a standoff two months after the last shutdown lasting 43 days.
