The Senate passed a government funding deal 71-29, funding most agencies through September while extending Homeland Security funding for two weeks. The temporary extension leaves Congress to debate possible limits on immigration enforcement, with a partial shutdown possible as the deal awaits House action.
The deal, negotiated by President Donald Trump and Senate Democrats, funds most of the government through the end of September but temporarily extends Homeland Security funding. Democrats said they want new restrictions on immigration raids, including rules for warrants and agent identification. The Senate passed the bill 71-29; it was headed to the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson expected a vote Monday evening. A partial shutdown could occur over the weekend while the House was out of session.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats would not support another Homeland Security funding extension without changes to ICE operations. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries also called for meaningful changes. Some Republicans objected to limits on immigration enforcement; Sen. Lindsey Graham delayed the funding bills until Senate Majority Leader John Thune agreed to a later vote on Graham’s sanctuary cities bill. Thune said reaching agreement on immigration restrictions would be difficult.
