1 day agoOh Yeah, We're in a Partial Government Shutdown, BTW
Federal government enters partial shutdown over DHS funding after Democrats refused extra ICE funding; shutdown could be leveraged to demand ICE and CBP reforms.
The Senate is expected to vote today on a $1.6 trillion six-bill package to fund the government. But Democrats say they will block the funding package, which includes money for the Department of Homeland Security, until there are major reforms to how immigration agents operate in the U.S. Without a deal, a partial government shutdown begins at the end of the day tomorrow.
