Senate blocks full DHS funding again, leaving shutdown in place
TL;DR
The Senate rejected the House-passed, full funding package for the Department of Homeland Security for the fourth time, failing to reach the 60-vote threshold and ensuring DHS remains shuttered as lawmakers leave town. Democrats had pressed for narrower bills to fund specific agencies (TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA) to reopen operations, but Republicans objected, leaving negotiations with the White House deadlocked amid broader fights over immigration enforcement guardrails.
