A partial government shutdown seems increasingly likely, as Senate Democrats said they will oppose funding for the Department of Homeland Security unless there are significant reforms. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper had already expressed opposition to the funding package even before two federal immigration agents shot and killed Alex Pretti on Saturday. The six remaining appropriations bills that need to clear Congress contain more than $118 million in funding requested by Colorado lawmakers. The DHS funding bill has more than $11 million in earmarks through FEMA. Bennet and Hickenlooper have just under a million earmarks for four emergency operation centers across the state as part of the Homeland Security appropriation bill.
