Department of Homeland Security shutdown nears, as US Senate remains stuck on funding - Now Georgia

As a midnight deadline to fund Homeland Security looms, the Senate failed 52-47 to advance a DHS bill, with Democrat John Fetterman joining Republicans and Mitch McConnell not voting. Hours earlier, President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said immigration officers will retreat from Minneapolis, where fatal federal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti fueled Democrats’ demands for warrants, body cameras, visible IDs and no face masks. Republicans pushed another stopgap; Democrats balked, vowing to rein in ICE. Short-term funds expire Friday, meaning unpaid essential work and likely continued ICE operations.
