House Speaker Mike Johnson said a vote on a funding package would not happen immediately, extending the partial shutdown into the week. The dispute centers on Democratic demands for limits on immigration enforcement operations.
Johnson said a funding package would take several days to reach a vote and that he was relying on President Donald Trump’s help to secure passage. The Senate had approved temporary Department of Homeland Security funding, while Democrats sought additional restrictions on immigration agents, including requirements to unmask and identify themselves and an end to roving patrols. Johnson said some changes might be negotiable but objected to removing agents’ masks and names from their uniforms.
House Democrats’ leader Hakeem Jeffries called for negotiations to begin immediately, and Sen. Chris Murphy said immigration operations were making the country less safe. The shutdown affected several federal agencies; the article said some workers could go without pay or be furloughed if the impasse continued.
