DHS funding standoff risks shutdown after Minneapolis ICE shootings

Democrats seek to separate and delay DHS funding from a larger five-appropriations package, tying it to reforms after two fatal shootings by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis; Republicans push to move forward with the full package to avoid a government shutdown, a stance the White House supports. Moderates urge independent investigations and reforms, while Republicans note most DHS funds go to non-immigration programs. With funding due to lapse at midnight, the stalemate threatens agency operations and highlights partisan fault lines over immigration enforcement and oversight.
