Senate Fails to Move DHS Funding as ICE Reform Talks Stall

The Senate couldn’t advance a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security in a 50–45 vote, extending a partial government shutdown with no clear end in sight as negotiators remain far apart on reforms to ICE and CBP. Democrats demand broad changes—warrants for arrests, independent investigations, and banning agents from sensitive locations—while Republicans and the White House have shown little movement. The lapse threatens DHS operations beyond FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard, with pay disruptions and actions like TSA PreCheck paused as talks continue.
