White House offers DHS funding counterproposal as shutdown drags on

The White House delivered a counterproposal to fund the Department of Homeland Security as a partial shutdown persists, with Democrats pressing for immigration enforcement reforms such as body cameras, warrants, and restrictions on agents; Senate Democrats again blocked a House-passed DHS funding bill, keeping talks alive while most DHS workers continue on duty and some programs risk unpaid status, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is set to testify before Congress amid ongoing negotiations.
