Overview
- A partial shutdown began over the weekend after the House failed to act on a Senate package that funds five agencies through September and extends DHS funding for two weeks.
- Speaker Mike Johnson says he expects passage Tuesday, though a narrowed 218–214 GOP majority leaves virtually no room for defections.
- House Democrats are withholding procedural support while seeking curbs on ICE operations, including body cameras, unmasking of agents, judicial warrants and an end to roving patrols.
- Some Republicans on the right are pressing their own demands such as adding the SAVE Act or broader DHS funding changes, complicating the path to a quick vote.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced immediate deployment of body-worn cameras for officers in Minneapolis with plans to expand the program nationwide as funding allows.
