House Speaker Mike Johnson faces tough days trying to pass a funding package and curb a partial government shutdown amid intensifying debate over immigration enforcement. Counting on President Donald Trump, he backs a deal to fund Homeland Security only until Feb. 13 while talks continue. Democrats seek tighter limits on ICE, including unmasking agents, requiring identification and judicial warrants; Republicans want fuller DHS funding and the SAVE Act. With agencies squeezed and FEMA a concern, Johnson says agreement may be possible on body cameras and ending roving patrols, even as some lawmakers urge firing or impeaching DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
