Senate Democrats blocked a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, with a procedural vote failing 52-47—short of the 60 votes needed—amid disputes over immigration enforcement and ICE changes.
Current DHS funding expires Friday night, potentially triggering a partial shutdown at 12:01 a.m. ET Saturday without a last-minute agreement.
Nearly all Democrats voted against advancing the measure, escalating tensions as the agency faces operational disruptions.
