Two partial U.S. federal shutdowns in early 2026 over DHS funding and immigration reforms

Two federal officers fired shots during the encounter that killed ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a CBP official told Congress.

During the struggle, a Border Patrol agent yelled, “He’s got a gun!” multiple times, the official said.

The White House had tried to blame Democratic leaders for the protests of immigration raids. But after the killing of Pretti... the administration tapped Homan.

Judge Schiltz wrote that ICE sent thousands of agents to Minnesota “without making any provision” for handling the resulting lawsuits.

The House narrowly passed a spending package to reopen the government through the rest of the fiscal year.

The bill includes a continuing resolution to fund DHS in the wake of fatal shootings involving ICE agents.

What a shutdown would mean for the Department of Homeland Security, which includes not only border agents but also airport security officers and emergency management functions https://www.wsj.com/us-news/homeland-security-government-shutdown-e6ee00c5?mod=e2tw

The ongoing shutdown is holding the safety and national security of the American people hostage.

Immigration enforcement is continuing unfettered, with @CBP and @ICEgov funded.

Congressional Democrats are using @TSA, @FEMA, @SecretService, @USCG, @CISAgov and other key national security agencies as pawns to score cheap political points.

At this time, TSA PreCheck remains operational with no change for the traveling public.

As staffing constraints arise, TSA will evaluate on a case by case basis and adjust operations accordingly.

Funding lapsed for several US government departments... over new restrictions on federal agents involved in Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

Democrats are demanding that the DHS funding bill be rewritten to include new restrictions on federal agents, following the killings of Good and Pretti.

Rightwing lawmakers have recently demanded that the appropriations bill be coupled with the Save Act, which would impose identification requirements to vote that critics say would disenfranchise swaths of Americans.

These are not radical demands, they’re basic standards the American people already expect from law enforcement.”

House passes bill to end the partial government shutdown that President Trump is expected to sign.

It creates a funding cliff for DHS in two weeks.

We’re 3 days away from a DHS shutdown and Republicans have not gotten serious about negotiating a solution that reins in ICE and stops the violence.

Democrats will not support a CR to extend the status quo.

Here we go again. The new Democrat shutdown — this time of the Dept. of Homeland Security — will hit some VERY important programs...

That means delayed disaster aid, airport chaos, and weakened law enforcement.

Democrats are once again risking public safety just to stage a pointless political stunt.

While CRs can help avoid government shutdowns, they should be seen as stopgap measures and rarely used.

However, CRs have become the norm over the past few decades. That unfortunate practice can lead to disruptions in the federal budget process.

Since fiscal year 1998, policymakers enacted 139 continuing resolutions — an average of about five per year.

To ensure that government agencies can operate effectively and efficiently, policymakers should focus on enacting full-year funding bills on time or consider reforms to the budget process.
