House Speaker Mike Johnson announced there would be no immediate House vote on a government funding package, prolonging the partial federal shutdown into the week. Johnson blamed Democrats for the delay, citing their demands regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. The debate centers around reining in the Trump administration's immigration enforcement. Johnson indicated he is relying on President Trump to ensure passage of the funding package. The Senate previously approved a measure to temporarily fund the Department of Homeland Security for two weeks, setting a deadline for Congress to debate and vote on new restrictions on ICE operations following public outrage over shooting deaths during protests in Minneapolis.
