Trump Demands Immediate House Vote on Funding Bill President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Feb 3 urging the House to pass the Senate‑crafted omnibus funding package without delay or amendments, warning “there can be NO CHANGES at this time.” He framed the vote as essential to reopen the government after the partial shutdown began Saturday, Feb 1, when appropriations for the Pentagon, Homeland Security and other departments lapsed. The Senate had already approved the bill, funding all agencies through September while granting the Department of Homeland Security only a two‑week extension that expires on Feb 13 [1][2][3].
Democrats Block Bill Until ICE Oversight Measures Adopted House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced that Democrats will not support Speaker Mike Johnson’s motion unless ICE agents are required to unmask, wear visible identification, carry body‑cameras and operate only with judicial warrants. The demands also include ending “roving patrols” and creating an enforceable code of conduct, reforms spurred by the Jan 24 killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti and the Jan 7 death of Renee Good in Minneapolis. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer echoed the same conditions in the Senate‑House deal, linking them to the two‑week DHS funding stopgap. While the White House and GOP offered $20 million for additional body‑camera purchases, Democrats say the amount is insufficient [1][4][5][6][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][18][19][20].
Republican Factions Push Full DHS Funding and SAVE Act The House Freedom Caucus and several Republican members have pressed Johnson to restore full Department of Homeland Security funding rather than the two‑week limit and are advancing the SAVE Act, a proposal that would require proof of citizenship before Americans can vote. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna dropped her demand for the SAVE Act after meeting with Trump, illustrating internal GOP disagreements that complicate moving the package to the floor. These disputes persist even as Trump publicly backs the Senate‑crafted deal [1][2][3][7][14].
Partial Shutdown Extends Unpaid Work and Service Disruptions With the shutdown entering its fourth day, essential services at the Pentagon, Homeland Security and other agencies continue, but many employees are working without pay and some non‑essential staff have been furloughed. The Federal Aviation Administration and air‑traffic‑control personnel face furloughs, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly jobs report has been delayed, hampering economic monitoring. OMB Director Russ Vought has assured that workers will receive backpay after the lapse ends, while the White House urges a swift congressional resolution to avoid further economic damage [1][4][5][6][10][13].
