Trump Calls for Immediate House Vote on Funding Bill President Donald Trump posted on X urging the House to pass the Senate‑crafted funding package “without delay” and warned that “there can be no changes at this time” [1][2]. He framed the shutdown as unacceptable and demanded bipartisan cooperation to reopen the government [1][2]. The appeal came as the shutdown entered its fourth day, increasing pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson.

Partial Shutdown Leaves Pentagon and DHS Unfunded Since Saturday Funding for the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and several other agencies expired on Saturday, marking day four of a partial shutdown on Monday [1][2]. Essential services continue, but many civilian employees face unpaid leave or furloughs while the government operates at reduced capacity [1][2]. The lapse threatens critical national‑security functions and adds urgency to congressional negotiations [1][2].

Democrats Block Bill Until ICE Enforcement Changes Adopted House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced his caucus will not advance the measure until Congress addresses ICE reforms, including unmasking agents, requiring judicial warrants, ending roving patrols, and expanding body‑camera funding beyond the $20 million already allocated [1][2]. The demand follows the recent shooting deaths of two Americans in Minneapolis, which Democrats cite as evidence of ICE accountability gaps [1]. Jeffries’ stance stalls Speaker Johnson’s ability to bring the bill to a vote.

Senate Deal Grants Temporary DHS Funding and Triggers Body‑Camera Rollout Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, approved an omnibus package that funds Homeland Security only through Feb. 13 while broader government funding passes, a compromise reached with President Trump last week [1][2]. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced immediate issuance of body‑worn cameras to ICE officers in Minneapolis, with a plan to expand nationwide as funding allows [1][2]. Meanwhile, the House Freedom Caucus and some Republicans continue to press for the SAVE Act, a citizenship‑verification voting proposal, though Rep. Anna Paulina Luna withdrew her demand after meeting Trump [1][2].
