DHS Shutdown Starts as Funding Expires Without Congressional Agreement

A partial government shutdown began over the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) due to a stalemate on immigration enforcement policies, impacting multiple agencies like the TSA and FEMA. Funding for DHS was extended only for two weeks, as Senate Democrats opposed legislation without reforms to ICE and CBP. Negotiations continue, with President Trump emphasizing challenges in meeting Democrat demands, while Democratic leaders express willingness to discuss reforms. The White House is seeking bipartisan solutions to address concerns and avoid further shutdowns.
