2 weeks agoICE reshapes the fight to avoid another government shutdown
Democrats are unlikely to back a DHS budget without limits, making a bipartisan stopgap the expected solution to prevent a partial government shutdown.
Senators in the United States have voted to move forward with a stopgap funding package aimed at ending the longest government shutdown in the country's history. In a procedural vote on Sunday, some eight Democrats broke rank and voted in favour of advancing a Republican measure that will keep the government reopen into January 30. The measure would also fund some parts of the government, including food aid and the legislative branch, for the next year.
