US EditionDemocrats say deal reached with Trump to avert shutdown, immigration talks to continue
Senate Democrats and Republicans agreed to a two-week DHS funding extension to continue talks on immigration enforcement reforms after fatal federal agent shootings in Minneapolis.
- Late on January 29, 2026, Democrats and the White House agreed to a provisional deal that temporarily funds the Department of Homeland Security, providing a short extension Senate negotiators said averted a shutdown.
- Senate Democrats, citing the deadly federal enforcement in Minneapolis, demanded enforceable curbs on ICE including ending 'roving patrols', tighter warrant rules, a code of conduct, and requiring agents to show identification and use body cameras.
- Pushing for a longer extension, Senate Republicans said two weeks wasn’t sufficient to reach a final deal, while House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans opposed splitting the funding package but promised quick action if it is divided.
- Any Senate-passed measure would still need House approval, and the House is not in session until the week of Feb. 2, raising doubts about swift action before Friday's shutdown deadline.
- After a 43-day shutdown last fall, officials warn another lapse could again harm federal workers and services, and final DHS negotiations are expected to be difficult with stronger Democratic unity.
