President Trump and Senate Democrats have reached a tentative agreement to avoid a federal shutdown, addressing disputes over DHS and ICE funding with votes expected in Congress within days.
On January 30, President Trump and Senate Democrats agreed on a funding deal designed to avert a prolonged federal government shutdown, resolving disputes over Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) budgets. NBC News reported that the Senate could vote on the appropriations package Thursday night, with the House expected to act Monday. The agreement comes after weeks of partisan conflict over immigration enforcement and budget allocations, and aims to prevent a shutdown that could have impacted approximately 78% of federal operations.
