"I don't like the masks, either,"
"These men and women have to protect themselves."
Congress and the White House failed to reach an agreement on DHS funding, triggering a partial government shutdown that began Saturday. Democrats demand changes to immigration operations after the fatal shootings of U.S. citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal officers in Minneapolis. The impasse affects TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, ICE, and CBP, while ICE and CBP continue deportation operations using additional funds from the tax and spending cut law from 2025. About 90% of DHS employees continue working without pay, raising concerns about financial hardship. Democrats seek officer identification rules, body cameras, and warrants for private-property arrests; the administration resists some measures citing officer safety. Congress is on recess until Feb. 23.
