Partial government shutdown will extend into the week as House Speaker Johnson says it will be a few days before vote on funding | Fortune

"Johnson signaled he is relying on help from President Donald Trump to ensure passage. Trump struck a deal with senators to separate out funding for the Department of Homeland Security from a broader package after public outrage over two shooting deaths during protests in Minneapolis against Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The measure approved Friday by the Senate would fund DHS temporarily, for two weeks, setting up a deadline for Congress to debate and vote on new restrictions on ICE operations."

"Johnson faces a daunting challenge ahead, trying to muscle the funding legislation through the House while Democrats are refusing to provide the votes for speedy passage. They are demanding restraints on ICE that go beyond $20 million for body cameras that already is in the bill. They want to require that federal immigration agents unmask and identify themselves and are pressing for an end to roving patrols, amid other changes."

""What is clear is that the Department of Homeland Security needs to be dramatically reformed," said House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said on ABC's "This Week." Jeffries said the administration needs to begin negotiations now, not over the next two weeks, on changes to immigration enforcement operations. "Masks should come off," he said. "Judicial warrants should absolutely be required consistent with the Constitution, in our view, before DHS agents or ICE agents are breaking into the homes of the American people or ripping people out of their cars.""

Johnson is seeking President Donald Trump's help to secure passage of funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Trump negotiated separating DHS funding from a larger package after public outrage over two shooting deaths during Minneapolis protests against ICE. The Senate approved a two-week temporary DHS funding measure, creating a deadline for Congress to consider new ICE restrictions. House Republicans face difficulty advancing the bill because Democrats demand stricter ICE reforms beyond body cameras, including agent identification, an end to roving patrols, and judicial warrants before home or vehicle enforcement actions.
