Overview
- The Senate approved the compromise 71–29, advancing five of the six remaining appropriations bills and excluding Homeland Security for separate negotiations.
- The House reconvenes Monday for a vote, and party leaders say services should restart within days if the package is approved.
- Democrats tied DHS funding to ICE and CBP reforms after two deadly federal‑agent shootings in Minneapolis, pressing for body cameras, a ban on masked agents, and stricter warrant rules with local cooperation.
- Some Republican senators object to concessions on immigration enforcement, even as President Donald Trump urges swift passage to avoid a prolonged shutdown.
- Six of twelve annual spending bills were already law, and the new package covers departments including Defense, Health, Education, Transportation, and Financial Services, with limited near‑term disruption expected but concern voiced for FEMA during severe winter weather.
