House passes DHS funding bill amid Senate deadlock over immigration enforcement changes, disrupting agency operations and risking pay delays for essential workers, officials say.

- With the DHS shutdown beginning February 14, negotiators will need a bipartisan compromise as recent weeks show little progress and senators warn of ongoing hardship.
