Trump Says Deal Reached on Stopgap Spending Bill for DHS, but Weekend Shutdown Still Possible
Senate Democrats leverage DHS funding to demand ICE reforms after Minneapolis shootings; key vote Thursday failed, raising chance of partial shutdown through weekend, sources say.
- On Thursday, the Senate held a vote to avert a partial shutdown, but a procedural measure failed when eight GOP senators joined all Democrats, leading to talks to separate Department of Homeland Security funding from other bills.
- After the Minneapolis shootings, Senate Democrats demand immigration-enforcement reforms including ending roving patrols, tighter warrant rules, body cameras, and a mask ban, while Senate Republicans argue the DHS bill already includes some measures.
- The White House signaled it wants the government open by saying, 'Hopefully we won't have a shutdown and we're working on that right now. The democrats I don't believe, want to see it either.' President Trump hosted a Cabinet meeting amid DHS funding debates and backlash over Minnesota shootings.
- At least a brief partial shutdown appears likely through the weekend, and House leadership plus the House being out until Monday could slow any compromise funding measure.
- Democrats argue recent polls have strengthened their leverage by rallying Senate Democrats around 'common sense' reforms, while senators say a one week continuing resolution would buy negotiation time but securing changes will be tougher.
