Overview
- The Homeland Security bill was pulled from House packages after the Minneapolis killing, and Senate leaders now call it the likeliest candidate for a continuing resolution.
- Nearly 100 House Democrats say they will oppose immigration-enforcement funding unless significant constraints are added.
- Appropriators are weighing operational guardrails for ICE, including a potential body-camera requirement for agents, though no agreement has been reached.
- The White House is defending ICE’s actions, and President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy troops in Minnesota.
- A shutdown targeting DHS would have limited impact on ICE due to large multiyear funds from last summer’s tax-and-spending law, while TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA would face disruptions.
