Congress had been on track to avert a shutdown, but after a second deadly shooting of a U.S.
citizen by immigration officers in Minneapolis, Democrats pledged to oppose the Department of Homeland Security funding bill.
That money, though, was tied with more than a trillion dollars for other departments, including defense, health and human services, and housing.
Republicans agreed to isolate DHS funding from the rest and only extend it for two weeks.
allowing lawmakers to negotiate guardrails to rein in immigration enforcement tactics.
With the House not back until Monday, funding will lapse at least over the weekend, but will not be as widespread as the last record-long shutdown when all government funding had expired.

What we're talking about now is about $1.3 trillion in spending that's on the line.
