Senate Democratic Leader Schumer: After negotiations with the White House, it has been decided to pass other budgets except for "homeland security" first, to avoid a government shutdown; for homeland security-related budgets, only two weeks of temporary funding will be provided, during which time "immigration enforcement" reform measures will be introduced.
The Senate, due to many Republicans supporting "ICE reform," allows Democrats to have a majority advantage, making it impossible for the Republicans to unilaterally push through.
The U.S. government once again faces the risk of a partial shutdown, with key funds expected to run out today (January 30), and the Democrats clearly opposing the appropriation bill that includes Department of Homeland Security funding due to the immigration enforcement conflict incident in Minnesota, leading to an intractable congressional stalemate.
On January 24, U.S. federal law enforcement officers shot and killed a man during an immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota, triggering strong protests from Democrats. Senate Democratic Leader Schumer called the action "shocking" and warned that if the government funding bill included funds for the Department of Homeland Security, Democrats would collectively block its passage. Just after experiencing the longest government shutdown in history, it now faces the risk of a shutdown again after two months. Partisan disputes are shutting down the government and also tearing society apart.
