US EditionThe Latest: Partial government shutdown over DHS oversight seems poised to drag on
- Saturday, a partial DHS shutdown began after congressional Democrats and Trump failed to reach a deal, with funding only approved through Friday.
- Congressional Democrats pressed for oversight changes after last month’s fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, while Homeland Security funding was stripped from a broader package to allow more negotiation.
- Most of the DHS workforce are designated essential, with over 258,000 employees working during the fall 2025 shutdown while about 22,000 furloughed employees in fall 2025 represented 5%.
- Emergency response training and state reimbursements face interruption as the shutdown disrupts first responders’ training at the National Disaster and Emergency Management University in Maryland and FEMA’s disaster relief reimbursements.
- With Congress on recess until Feb. 23, ICE and CBP will largely continue operations using funds from Trump's 2025 law, despite the shutdown dispute.
