Eleventh-hour talks race to avert shutdown as DHS funding hangs in balance
TL;DR
With Friday’s 11:59 p.m. deadline looming, White House and Senate leaders are closing in on a last‑minute deal to avert a government shutdown by funding most agencies through September while temporarily extending DHS funding to let talks on ICE deployment continue; Democrats demand binding immigration‑enforcement restrictions (roving patrols, warrants, use‑of‑force policies, body cameras) in the legislation rather than executive actions, while Republicans push for a quicker extension, but no agreement has been reached amid mounting backlash over ICE tactics and Trump’s desire to avoid a second shutdown.
