“With just a week left to avoid another government shutdown, the U.S. House of Representatives voted Jan. 22 to send a $1.2 trillion spending package to the Senate. The appropriations bills passed despite widespread consternation from Democrats over keeping the lights on at the Department of Homeland Security. The Trump administration’s nationwide immigration enforcement operations – which came to a head recently with the [murder] of Renee Good in Minneapolis – prompted most Democrats to vote against funding the agency, which includes Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. Seven Democrats supported the DHS bill.” (01/22/26)
