US EditionDHS shutdown imminent after Senate Democrats block Homeland Security bill
Senate Democrats demand sweeping immigration enforcement reforms, blocking a full-year DHS funding bill and risking a partial shutdown affecting agencies like FEMA and TSA, officials said.
- A shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security appeared likely as Congress prepared to leave Washington for a 10-day recess, with negotiations between the White House and Democrats failing to reach an agreement.
- Democrats are seeking new limits on President Trump’s immigration enforcement policies, including stricter identification rules for ICE and other federal officers, a formal code of conduct, and expanded use of judicial warrants.
- A DHS funding bill failed in the Senate with a 52–47 vote, falling short of the 60 votes required, and without further action, the department’s funding is set to expire on Saturday.
- Thune urged continued talks, saying `I think it's important that we allow those conversations to go forward and see if there might be a path toward getting an outcome that would fund the Department of Homeland Security`, and added `As soon as we can strike a deal, we'll vote on it.
