US EditionDemocrats block bill to reopen Homeland Security amid 27-day shutdown
Democrats demand immigration enforcement reforms amid the 27-day partial shutdown affecting key DHS agencies including TSA and Coast Guard operations nationwide.
- On Thursday, U.S. Senate Democrats blocked the DHS funding bill again, with the vote failing 51-46 and leaving the Feb. 14 lapse unresolved.
- Senate Democrats say they blocked funding after two U.S. citizens were fatally shot in Minneapolis and three Americans died during protests against ICE, prompting reform demands.

- DHS essential employees have worked without pay, causing airport delays as Senate Democrats blocked DHS funding, risking national-security disruptions.
- With talks stalled, Senate Republicans have proposed two-week unconditional DHS funding to force negotiations, as communication breakdowns persist for two weeks.
