U.S. Enters Brief Partial Shutdown After Senate Deal Splits Off DHS Funding

Democrats forced a carve‑out for Homeland Security to seek ICE limits after two fatal Minneapolis encounters.

Overview

  • Funding lapsed at midnight Saturday in Washington, with leaders expecting a short disruption pending a House vote as early as Monday.
  • The Senate approved a revised package 71–29 that finances most federal agencies through September but puts DHS on a roughly two‑week extension for negotiations.
  • President Trump backed the arrangement with Senate Democrats to separate DHS while they negotiate oversight and limits on ICE operations.
  • Democrats outlined proposals that include ending mobile patrols, banning masks for agents, requiring body‑camera use, and tightening accountability rules.
  • The White House budget office directed agencies to activate shutdown plans, with essential services continuing and limited furloughs anticipated if the impasse resolves quickly.
