Overview
- A procedural vote to advance a six-bill package failed 45-55, with all Democrats and several Republicans voting no, and Majority Leader John Thune switching to no for procedural reasons.
- Leaders agreed to fund five non-DHS appropriations bills through September and place DHS on a short continuing resolution through February 13.
- The House must act next week because it is in recess, making a brief funding lapse over the weekend possible even with the deal.
- Democrats are pressing for DHS changes that include banning masks, requiring body cameras and identification, ending roving patrols, tightening warrant rules, and adopting a use-of-force code.
- The White House said President Trump wants to avoid a shutdown and backed the agreement, while officials note ICE operations would largely continue even if DHS funding briefly lapses.
