DHS funding deal on shaky ground as Trump and Democrats both decline to embrace it

A proposed deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security has lost backing from both the Trump administration and Congressional Democrats after weeks of negotiations, leaving the funding mechanism uncertain. The emerging proposal would fund the majority of DHS while addressing ICE enforcement funding through a separate mechanism, but neither side has endorsed it. Without agreement on a DHS funding bill, Congress faces potential government shutdown risk or the need to pass another continuing resolution to keep the agency operating.
