But it would exclude funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol.
This is something that Democrats had been refusing to fund after the shootings of those two U.S.
citizens in Minneapolis by federal immigration officers.
And Republicans had pushed back on not funding DHS fully.
But as lines at airports got worse over the course of the week, Republicans and Democrats in the Senate were able to come together around this deal.
Nothing.
This deal included none of the policy changes that Democrats had been pushing for over the course of these last several weeks.
What Democrats did get out of this is no new funding for ICE and for Border Patrol, but no policy changes specifically.
So there was all this optimism that a deal was at hand.
The Senate actually left town for a two-week recess.
But then when it got over to the House side, very quickly it became apparent that House Republicans were not going to be behind this deal, particularly conservatives in the House Republican caucus.
because this did not include the Save America Act, this voting law overhaul that President Trump and his allies in Congress have been pushing.
And so instead, House Republicans said they were going to put forward a 60 day extension of DHS funding that would include money for ICE and Customs and Border Protection.
It has been made very clear by Democrats in the Senate that that is unacceptable to them.
And the minority party in the Senate does have some power.
And so right now, this has ended up at a standstill.
And Congress is not in session for two weeks.
So this shutdown is going to continue for a little while longer, at least.
Even though DHS is without funding for this fiscal year, they have tons of money to work with.
So ICE has been able to continue their duties throughout all of this, unlike some other agencies where workers are going unpaid.
