Democrats Charge Forward With Shutdown Threat Over ICE Funding

The Senate rejected a six-bill appropriations package funding vast portions of the federal government Thursday with Democrats citing their opposition to funding federal immigration enforcement following weeks of unrest in Minnesota.
Lawmakers voted 45-55, falling well short of the 60-vote threshold necessary to advance the funding package.
It was not immediately clear whether Homan’s remarks helped soften Democrats’ opposition to the DHS funding bill.
“It shuts down Secret Service — kind of important, right?” Mullin said regarding Democrats’ filibuster of the DHS funding bill.
Just seven House Democrats voted “yes” on the DHS funding bill on Jan. 22, but support among Democrats for funding federal immigration enforcement cratered further over the weekend following Pretti’s shooting.
