US EditionFetterman ‘absolutely’ expects government shutdown over DHS funding
Sen. Fetterman cites stalled immigration reform talks as key cause of looming DHS shutdown that could disrupt air travel and emergency services nationwide.
- On Sunday, Sen. John Fetterman, Pennsylvania Democrat, said on Fox News' `Sunday Morning Futures`, `I absolutely would expect that it's going to shut down` as DHS funding lapses Friday.
- Behind the stalemate is Democrats' 10 demands, including banning masks and requiring warrants, body cameras, and IDs for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, lawmakers say.
- With talks stalled, GOP aides note Republican negotiators called Democrats' 10 demands a `Christmas wish list`, while Sen. John Thune said serious negotiations had yet to start and Katie Britt received no response from Democrats.
- A shutdown would imperil DHS funding, affecting TSA, FEMA, border-security enforcement, and federal workers' pay, Fetterman warned.
- After Minneapolis incidents last month, the standoff follows two deaths and thousands of immigration agents deployed by the Trump administration, while Fetterman calls for firing Secretary Kristi Noem.
