US EditionDHS shutdown imminent after Senate Democrats block Homeland Security bill
- On Thursday, Feb. 12, the Senate failed to advance a DHS funding bill, losing 52-47 and funding expires Friday at midnight, risking a shutdown.

- Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., was the only Democrat to vote with Republicans, while Democrats objected on the Senate floor and negotiations may continue over the weekend.
- Federal agencies including the Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Coast Guard and Federal Emergency Management Agency could see reduced services and unpaid workers, and with Congress scheduled recess next week, a shutdown could last at least a week.
- The White House sent its most recent offer late Wednesday, but talks remain stalled and lawmakers in both chambers were on notice to return if a deal is struck.
