U.S. House Faces Political Turmoil Over Immigration Raid Funding

Controversy surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration raid actions has sparked political unrest in the U.S. House of Representatives, potentially extending the partial government shutdown that began on Saturday. According to Jin10, House Speaker Johnson is tasked with advancing a Senate-approved bill through the House. This legislation aims to fund most federal agencies until September 30 and the Department of Homeland Security until February 13, while maintaining funding for immigration raids during bipartisan negotiations on law enforcement policy adjustments. However, the bill faces opposition within both parties. Johnson anticipates an initial vote by the Rules Committee on Monday, expressing hope for final approval by Tuesday. If the shutdown continues into this week, the highly anticipated Friday non-farm payroll report may be delayed, and the tax filing season, which commenced last week, could be affected. Progressive Democrats have stated they will not support even a two-week funding extension for the Department of Homeland Security unless Trump agrees to impose new restrictions on immigration raids.
