Overview
- President Donald Trump said a deal would pass five of six spending titles now, with the DHS portion to be renegotiated over the next two weeks.
- Because the Senate’s version differs from the House’s single-package bill, the measure must return to the House, and a vote is not expected before Monday.
- Senate rules require 60 votes, giving Democrats leverage as they condition support on limits to ICE operations.
- The deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis have driven demands for reforms, with Chuck Schumer denouncing ICE tactics and calling to end so‑called flying patrols.
- Funding will lapse for several departments, triggering furloughs for many federal employees while essential staff work without pay until Congress restores funding; House Speaker Mike Johnson said members will take up the revised bill upon returning.
