Overview
- President Donald Trump and Senate Democratic leaders agreed to fund five agencies through September and extend Department of Homeland Security funding for two weeks to allow negotiations on immigration enforcement reforms.
- The Senate blocked the earlier six-bill package in a 45-55 vote, and later objections from Republicans including Sen. Lindsey Graham halted fast-track consideration of the new deal.
- With the House out until Monday, leaders and reporters say at least a weekend funding gap is expected even if the Senate advances the compromise on Friday.
- Democrats seek guardrails on ICE and related operations following two Minneapolis shootings, including bans on masks, required body cameras and visible IDs, tighter warrant rules, an end to roving patrols, and a universal use-of-force standard.
- Even if DHS funding lapses, ICE and many immigration operations would largely continue due to multi-year money approved last year, though other agencies face disruptions until Congress finalizes the package.
