We're going to pass a short-term solution to fund that department while we work out some possible restrictions onto immigration enforcement.

But for now, he's telling the House, we don't want anything added.

We want to get the government back open.

So here's some of what the president said in a true social post.

He said there can be no changes at this time, saying he's working hard with Speaker Mike Johnson on this right now.

Obviously, we could see an end to the shutdown today, but these situations can be very, very fluid.

The goal for the president is he wants this to get out of the House without it going back to the Senate, so that way the government can reopen and they can go back to these Homeland Security negotiations.

So something that's really critical with this is a continuing resolution, if passed as it stands right now, would go until February 13th.

A lot of lawmakers aren't too keen on whether or not that's going to be enough time.

Meanwhile, you have people like Chuck Schumer have a whole laundry list of reforms they want to see to federal immigration enforcement.

For example, a pivot from a lot of administrative warrants, less of a process, to judicial warrants for immigration arrests, which could really make it a lot more difficult for immigration authorities to get the numbers that they're seeking and some of the arrests that they're wanting to get as well.

So, obviously, on the safety end, though, Kristi Noem did announce that officers that are in Minneapolis are going to start wearing body cameras.

We could also potentially see some other compromise changes as this goes down.

We'll end up seeing what actually comes out of these talks maybe in a couple weeks.

So the SAVE Act was a piece of legislation that some members of the House wanted to be included into the spending package as it stands right now, which would have sent it back to the Senate.

Now, that doesn't seem like it's going to happen because you did see the House vote

already passed the SAVE Act.

Instead, you have a bunch of lawmakers now calling on Mitch McConnell to get that out of his committee independently and to the Senate for a floor vote and then to the president.

Now, what that act actually does is it's called documentary proof of citizenship.

And what that means is when you go and register to vote, you have to, instead of just checking a box, actually prove that you are a citizen of the United States.
