Partial government shutdown over immigration underway. How long will it last?
Johnson said a two-week Senate funding measure could buy time for negotiations over new Immigration and Customs Enforcement restrictions.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled Friday that the partial government shutdown will likely extend into this week as Republicans and Democrats remain at odds over Department of Homeland Security funding following two deadly shootings involving federal officers in Minneapolis.
- Two deadly shootings in Minneapolis triggered the impasse, prompting the Senate to approve a temporary two-week DHS funding measure Friday to give Congress time to debate potential new restrictions on ICE.
- Democrats demand judicial warrants and body cameras for ICE agents, with Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic minority leader, stating these reforms reflect 'a perspective held by the American people,' while House Republicans continue supporting President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
- Johnson expressed hope over the weekend that the shutdown could end by Tuesday, stating 'Our intention is by Tuesday to fund all agencies of the federal government except for that one, and then we'll have two weeks of good faith negotiations to figure it out.'
- The two-week negotiation window will determine whether Congress imposes new restrictions on ICE, as House Republicans maintain support for Trump's immigration enforcement priorities against Democratic oversight demands.
