US EditionAs Senate Reaches Deal to Fund DHS for Two Weeks, Government Shutdown Looms
Senate leaders agreed on a two-week stopgap funding for Homeland Security to prevent a partial government shutdown amid immigration enforcement reform debates.
- On Jan 30, 2026, negotiators struck a bipartisan deal, announced by Chuck Schumer, to separate Department of Homeland Security funding and extend it for two weeks before the midnight Friday deadline.
- Senate Democrats refused to renew DHS funding unless new restraints were placed on immigration enforcement after the Jan. 24 killings of two protesters in Minneapolis, and Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader , negotiated the deal in direct talks with the White House.
- After a 45-to-55 procedural vote failed, seven conservatives joined all Democrats to block the package while Sen. Lindsey Graham placed a hold, slowing Thursday's vote amid ICE reform demands.
- With the House in recess, final passage could slip to Monday, Feb. 2, as Speaker Mike Johnson said it would take 72 hours for the House to vote and ruled out a Friday vote despite the slim 218-213 Republican majority.
- The deal lowers the odds of a long shutdown and carries political risk ahead of midterms, envisioning five spending bills plus mandatory funding to sustain DHS operations.
