Immigration policy clash risks fresh DHS shutdown as funding deadline nears

As the Department of Homeland Security funding deadline nears, Democrats push reforms to rein in immigration agencies (ICE/CBP)—including warrants, independent investigations, a ban on masks for agents, and body cameras—while Republicans push back and seek sanctuary-city crackdowns. If a deal isn’t reached by Feb. 13, a new partial shutdown could follow, with the impact largely felt beyond ICE (affecting TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, Secret Service). Polls show public support for some reforms, adding complexity to negotiations.

Senate swiftly passes funding bills to avert government shutdown

The Senate passed a package of six funding bills to avert a partial government shutdown before the midnight deadline, with a vote of 75-22. The bills, which cover various important programs, will now go to President Joe Biden for signing into law. This $467.5 billion appropriations package provides funding for several departments and federal programs through the end of September. However, Congress still has two weeks to address the remaining six funding bills before the next deadline, which may prove more challenging.
