GOP seeks explicit ICE body-camera funding in DHS bill after Minneapolis incident

House Republicans are pressing to explicitly earmark DHS funding for ICE body cameras in the Homeland Security appropriations bill, arguing clear language is needed for proper use. Democrats want guardrails on immigration enforcement, including restrictions on masks and unmarked uniforms. The dispute comes as Congress races to finalize funding by the Jan. 30 deadline, with negotiators optimistic the body-camera provision will remain in the final DHS package.

"Congress Averts Shutdown with Short-Term Deal, New Deadline Looms"

Congress averted a government shutdown by passing a brief bill, buying more time for negotiations but pushing funding deadlines up by a week. An agreement in principle on six of the 12 bills needed to fund the government for the entire fiscal year was reached, but the remaining six bills, including controversial areas like the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security, pose challenges. Conservative House Republicans seek to attach policy riders, while Democrats are set to reject them. The new deadline for a potential shutdown is March 22.

House Speaker Mike Johnson must navigate delicate negotiations and court support from Democrats due to a narrow GOP majority, as the deadline to prevent a shutdown approaches.

House Republicans Strategize to Avoid Government Shutdown and Protect Investments

House Republicans are scrambling to find a way to avert a government shutdown as the funding deadline looms, but deep divisions within their ranks over federal spending are hindering progress. Speaker Mike Johnson, the new leader, is faced with the challenge of corralling nearly all Republicans to pass a government funding measure, a difficult task given the party's resistance to federal spending. Various funding strategies were discussed, including passing a temporary measure, negotiating with the Senate, or funding some agencies for a few weeks and others for a longer period. The fight over keeping the government open is running parallel to Congress' consideration of President Biden's emergency funding request for Israel, Ukraine, and other national security needs. Senate Republicans are also pushing for significant immigration policy changes and funding in any aid package for Israel and Ukraine.

"Government Shutdown Looms as GOP Struggles to Elect New Speaker"

The failure of House Republicans to elect a new speaker is increasing the likelihood of a government shutdown next month, as the party's internal dysfunction hampers the passage of vital legislation. The House has been mostly closed since October 3, when far-right rebels ousted then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Republicans have been unable to coalesce around a replacement, causing policy discussions to grind to a halt and potentially delaying the approval of a deal to fund the government. With the clock ticking, the GOP risks bearing the blame for a shutdown, while the Democratic-controlled Senate continues to negotiate spending bills.

"Office of Management and Budget Begins Shutdown Preparations"

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will begin the process of preparing for a potential government shutdown as the House and Senate remain far apart on a spending deal. OMB will release shutdown guidance to federal agencies, reminding them to review and update their shutdown plans. Each agency has its own set of plans, including determining which employees would be furloughed and which would work without pay. The government has experienced shutdowns in the past, including a record 35-day shutdown in 2018-2019 over funding for President Trump's border wall.
