Dems Push to End DHS Shutdown by Funding Non-ICE Agencies

TL;DR Summary
House Democrats unveiled a discharge petition to fund all non-immigration DHS agencies (e.g., TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard) while ICE and CBP would stay funded under existing arrangements, in an effort to end the month‑long DHS shutdown and pressure Republicans on immigration policy. The move aims to deflect blame onto GOPs and force a vote, but it hinges on Republican signatures and faces some Democratic skepticism that it will actually reopen DHS or deliver meaningful reforms.
