White House Pushes Last-Minute Effort to Prevent Homeland Security Shutdown

The White House is making a last-minute push to prevent a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security by submitting legislative text to the Democrats ahead of the funding deadline. According to Jin10, Democrats are expected to reject the proposal, labeling previous offers as 'incomplete and insufficient.' Senate Democrats have stated that negotiations are at an impasse and insist that they will not support any new temporary funding measures unless there is an agreement on a ten-point plan to reform the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Senator Jacky Rosen criticized the White House's response for lacking detail and accused Republicans of relying on short-term extensions to avoid broader immigration reform.
