What Happened? | On Monday, the U.S. government entered the third day of a partial shutdown due to a dispute over immigration tactics and mounting concern about excessive force by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). | A funding bill had been approved by the U.S. Senate, but the portion of that funding legislation pertaining to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was stricken from the bill because Congressional Democrats want provisions added to require ICE agents to wear body cameras and stop wearing masks. | The U.S. House of Representatives was set to reconvene Tuesday, since many members were still traveling to the nation's capital from their home districts, and a vote on a new spending bill is expected by Tuesday night. | Why it Matters | Following the month-long federal government shutdown, which ended in November 2025, Congress passed a continuing resolution that funded the government through the end of January 2026. | When January 2026 passed, the previous funding expired, requiring a new funding bill to be passed for the federal government to continue operating. Congressional Democrats and some Republicans have objected to the tactics being used by ICE, and as a result, they withdrew their support for DHS funding until their proposed changes were implemented. | | | Every feed is a blur.

Several members of Congress have called for the head of DHS to be fired, and U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky has said he found DHS's version of events for the killing of Alex Pretti to be 'not credible.' The Trump Administration responded to the public outcry with a promise to change personnel and tactics with respect to its immigration enforcement policies. | Senate Democrats concluded a deal with President Trump, and even though House Democrats still object to DHS funding, Republicans have the votes in the House to pass a new spending bill without any Democratic support. That would require no Republicans to vote against the measure, and as of Monday, no House Republicans have publicly indicated they would vote against a new spending bill. Which means this government shutdown will likely be much shorter than the one in 2025. | Currently, the partial shutdown affects funding for the Department of Defense, DHS, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. While essential personnel will continue to work in those agencies, they could stop receiving paychecks if the shutdown continues for more than two weeks. | How it Affects You | With the Congressional midterm elections taking place in November, the Trump Administration appears more responsive to public outcry against ICE than it did last year. The tactics being used by ICE could lead to Congressional hearings, which both Republicans and Democrats have called for, and that would put this administration's immigration tactics at the center of the national elections this year. | | More breaking news below… | February is when January narratives get tested by hard data and real supply.
