Overview
- House leaders plan a procedural vote Tuesday to advance a Senate-passed package that funds five agencies through September and extends Department of Homeland Security funding for two weeks.
- Speaker Mike Johnson faces a one-vote margin after a new Democrat was sworn in, and Democrats say they will not provide procedural help unless immigration enforcement limits are secured.
- Progressives are pushing for guardrails such as body cameras, visible identification, judicial warrants, and ending roving patrols, while some Democrats like Rep. Rosa DeLauro say the short DHS extension provides leverage to negotiate.
- A conservative threat to block the rule eased after assurances of a future vote on the SAVE America Act, though GOP hard-liners still object to elements of the deal.
- DHS announced immediate deployment of body-worn cameras for officers in Minneapolis, and agencies warn of operational strains as some personnel work without pay and certain services are curtailed during the partial shutdown.
