Partial shutdown enters third day with agencies furloughed The government has been partially closed since midnight Jan 31, after the Senate approved a five‑bill spending package that left the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) unfunded beyond Feb 13 [6][15][16]. Essential services at the Pentagon, Defense, Education, Health and other departments continue, but roughly 45 % of civilian workers face unpaid work or furloughs [16][5]. The shutdown has already delayed the Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report and forced the FAA to consider flight cuts [6][16].
Senate passes bipartisan funding bill with two‑week DHS stopgap On Jan 30 the Senate voted 71‑29 to fund most agencies through Sept 30 and to extend DHS appropriations for only two weeks, creating a narrow window for Congress to negotiate immigration‑enforcement reforms [13][18][19]. The deal also includes $20 million for body‑camera purchases and preserves funding for the Coast Guard and TSA [2][4]. Senate leaders Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell framed the compromise as a way to avoid a repeat of the 43‑day shutdown of 2025 [11][19].
Trump demands unchanged bill as House delays vote President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Feb 3 urging both parties to send the Senate‑approved package to his desk “without delay” and warned that “there can be NO CHANGES at this time” [1][2][3][4]. He reiterated the call in multiple statements, emphasizing that any amendment could trigger a longer shutdown [1][2]. House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters the measure would not reach the floor for several days, citing the slim GOP majority and internal dissent [8][10][9].
Democrats link funding to ICE reforms after Minneapolis killings House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Democrats refuse to support the DHS extension until ICE agents are required to unmask, obtain judicial warrants, end roving patrols, and wear body‑worn cameras—a response to the Jan 24 killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti and the Jan 7 death of Renee Good in Minneapolis [2][3][4][6][7][11][12][13][14][15][18][19]. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced immediate body‑camera deployment for ICE officers in Minneapolis, with a nationwide rollout as funding permits [1][2][4][5]. The dispute has kept the House from advancing the bill, extending the partial shutdown into the week [8][10][12].

Timeline
Jan 5, 2026 – Lawmakers face a Jan 30 budget deadline that could trigger a shutdown if they miss it, and a bipartisan three‑bill package signed on Nov 12, 2025 provides only a temporary stopgap; Sen. Dick Durbin says “I’ve had enough of shutdowns,” while Sen. Thom Tillis backs “regular order” to finish appropriations [30].
Jan 8, 2026 – Liberal Democrats push a hard‑line stance on ICE funding after a Minnesota shooting, with Rep. Jimmy Gómez declaring ICE funding a “red line,” while moderate Democrats such as Rep. Jeanne Shaheen warn against risking another shutdown [25].
Jan 15, 2026 – The Senate approves an 82‑15 bipartisan three‑bill funding package that funds most agencies through September, but DHS funding remains the main obstacle after the Minneapolis shooting intensifies calls for ICE guardrails [24].
Jan 22, 2026 – The House passes the final four spending bills (≈$1.2 trillion), including a 220‑207 vote on the DHS bill that funds ICE and adds $20 million for body‑cameras; Democrats cite the Renee Good killing to criticize ICE [23].
Jan 23, 2026 – Seven House Democrats break ranks to vote for ICE funding in the DHS bill, prompting calls for primary challenges against them; Rep. Thomas Massie is the lone Republican opponent [21].
Jan 24, 2026 – The House approves the $64.4 billion DHS appropriations bill 220‑207, and prediction markets see shutdown odds jump to ~75 percent after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti; Democrats such as Sen. Chris Murphy urge the Senate to withhold DHS money [19].
Jan 25, 2026 – Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer posts that “Democrats will not support any spending package that includes DHS funding,” calling the Minneapolis shooting “appalling” and raising shutdown odds to ~77 percent on betting markets [18].
Jan 26, 2026 – Democrats block DHS funding after the Pretti shooting, with half of the annual appropriations already signed; a snowstorm delays the Senate’s return, increasing the risk of a Jan 31 shutdown [17].
Jan 28, 2026 – The House passes a $64.4 billion DHS bill that allocates $10 billion to ICE, while Senate Democrats threaten to block ICE funding, citing the Minneapolis killings and noting that ICE’s $29 billion budget exceeds the defense spending of several NATO nations [14].
Jan 29, 2026 – Senate leaders scramble to preserve a bipartisan spending deal, reporting “snags on both sides” and scheduling a Friday vote; Democrats and President Trump agree to split DHS funding into a two‑week stopgap while ICE reform talks continue [11].
Jan 30, 2026 – The Senate passes a $1.2 trillion bipartisan funding bill 71‑29, adding a two‑week DHS extension and sending it to the House for a Monday vote; Sen. Chuck Schumer warns Democrats will not back the package without ICE oversight measures, and President Trump urges a “much‑needed Bipartisan ‘YES’ vote” [26]; the same day, Senate leaders confirm the two‑week DHS stopgap deal [28].
Jan 31, 2026 – A partial federal shutdown begins at midnight after the House fails to act on DHS funding; roughly 500,000 civilian workers face unpaid work and 480,000 are furloughed, while SNAP benefits remain secure because Agriculture is fully funded [5]; the White House orders agencies to prepare shutdown plans [2].
Feb 1, 2026 – The shutdown likely lingers through Tuesday as the House schedules a rule vote and debates a must‑pass funding package; House Speaker Mike Johnson warns he cannot lose more GOP votes, while Democrats demand ICE reforms such as body‑cameras and mask bans [4].
Feb 2, 2026 – The shutdown enters its third day; the Senate’s two‑week DHS stopgap runs until Feb 13, giving Congress a deadline to negotiate ICE restrictions; President Trump posts “without delay” and “There can be NO CHANGES” on Truth Social, urging both parties to send the bill to his desk [1]; simultaneously, the administration announces a Haitian TPS injunction, a July 4, 2026 Kennedy Center closure, and a $12 billion “Project Vault” rare‑earth reserve [6].
Feb 3, 2026 – Trump continues to press the House for an immediate vote, stating the government must reopen “WITHOUT DELAY” and warning that “there can be NO CHANGES at this time”; Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries, refuse to move the measure until ICE reforms—including body‑cameras and ending roving patrols—are attached [7].
