Overview
- A partial shutdown began Saturday after the House failed to act on the Senate package, with essential operations continuing but some workers facing unpaid time if the lapse persists.
- Speaker Mike Johnson says he has the Republican votes to pass the bill by Tuesday, with the House Rules Committee taking up the measure Monday and travel delays tightening margins.
- The deal funds five full-year spending bills through September and puts DHS on a two-week stopgap for talks on immigration enforcement following fatal Minneapolis shootings by federal agents.
- House Democrats are pressing for ICE and DHS reforms, including agent identification, mandatory body cameras, curbs on roving patrols, and tighter warrant requirements before offering quick support.
- Republican leaders are preparing to move largely with GOP votes as some conservatives resist the DHS carve-out or seek add-ons, while President Trump urges Republicans to back the package.
