About 78% of the federal government is unfunded right now as the Pentagon, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Transportation.

Well, Democrats started to say, we need some changes with ICE.

So we want to defund the Department of Homeland Security, only fund it for a shortened period of time.

So they have to pass in the House of Representatives what the Senate did.

Otherwise, the government shutdown continues.
