US senators looked likely to reject a key vote Thursday to avert another damaging shutdown in President Donald Trump’s second term, with Democrats blocking funding for his immigration crackdown after the killings of two activists by federal agents. “The bottom line is simple: the American people support law enforcement; they support border security, but they do not support ICE terrorising our streets and killing American citizens,” said Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The House and Senate both have to approve the exact same bill texts before they can become law. But the House is on a break and not expected to return until after the shutdown deadline, complicating any attempt to revise the package. Lawmakers have also raised concerns about the consequences of a DHS shutdown for agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) during severe winter weather.
