The U.S. House has passed a short-term funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), but a clash with the Senate over funding priorities continues to prolong the government shutdown. House Republicans rejected a bipartisan Senate deal aimed at resolving the funding issue, stating concerns over immigration enforcement implications. The Senate had proposed to fund most of DHS while excluding certain elements like ICE and Border Patrol, but this was met with significant pushback from House GOP leaders. Meanwhile, protests against the ongoing shutdown have emerged nationwide. As lawmakers remain divided, the prospects of reaching a compromise appear dim, leaving federal services and airport operations in limbo.
