Senate Blocks DHS Funding, Risking Shutdown
The United States Senate blocked a measure aimed at funding the Department of Homeland Security, causing concerns over a potential partial government shutdown. The decision follows demands by Senate Democrats for reforms within ICE and Customs and Border Protection, specifically around face masks, racial profiling, and body camera policies. Funding is set to lapse at midnight on Saturday if no agreement is reached, potentially impacting services like the Coast Guard, FEMA, and TSA.
