Government Shutdown Looms Over Immigration Funding

Government Shutdown Looms: Senate Spending Package Collapses Amid Immigration Funding Dispute The Senates key spending package, aimed at preventing a government shutdown, is unraveling due to disagreements over funding for the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Senate Democrats refuse to support the package as it stands, while Republicans demand stronger border security concessions. With the House on recess and a first procedural vote not expected until Wednesday, a partial government closure appears increasingly likely by the weekend.
