US lawmakers agreed to split DHS funding from other bills and use a two-week stopgap, easing near-term shutdown risks while immigration disputes remain unresolved. Senate GOP and Democrats agreed to separate five bipartisan spending bills from DHS funding, easing immediate shutdown risks. The arrangement reflects demands from Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, to prevent immigration funding disputes from triggering a wider shutdown across federal agencies. Sources said The White House and Senate Democrats clinched the compromise as the funding deadline approached. By isolating DHS funding, lawmakers aim to keep the rest of the government running while talks continue on border security and enforcement priorities.
