The US government is facing a 78% risk of shutdown as negotiations over the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) budget bill continue. The White House is attempting to broker a compromise with Senate Democrats and Republicans, but significant divisions remain. The Senate is considering separating the DHS budget from six other spending bills, yet even if approved, a shutdown could still occur this Saturday. The House of Representatives, currently not in session, must revise its version of the bill and address the DHS budget separately, complicating swift action. Additionally, the debate over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has intensified partisan tensions, with Senate Democrats criticizing ICE's enforcement practices and advocating for reforms to address public concerns.
