Trump Says He’s Working with Democrats to Avert Government Shutdown
Senate reached a bipartisan deal to fund DHS for two weeks amid calls for immigration enforcement reforms following two fatal shootings by federal agents, Democrats said.
- On Jan. 30, President Donald Trump said he is working with Congress to fully fund the government and added, `Hopefully we won't have a shutdown` at a White House Cabinet meeting.
- Senate Democrats on Jan. 28 outlined three DHS reform demands, including changes to ICE and CBP, after blocking funding following two Minneapolis protesters' deaths.
- The Senate reached a short-term deal to separate homeland security funding, approving a two-week DHS funding extension while a shutdown test vote failed 55-45 with all Democrats and seven Republicans opposing.
- A partial government shutdown could start at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31, and the Office of Management and Budget warned federal agencies to expect a brief funding lapse.
- House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson said the earliest floor action probably won't come until Monday, with logistical challenges due to the House recess and a thin margin.
