Trump Administration Live Updates: House and Senate Could Take Up Bill to End D.H.S. Shutdown - The New York Times

The Trump administration is signaling that Congress may move forward with legislation to end a Department of Homeland Security shutdown. The shutdown has disrupted border enforcement operations and other DHS functions during a period when immigration policy is a priority for the administration. House and Senate leadership are considering the bill as a path to restore agency operations without prolonging the budget impasse. A DHS shutdown restricts the government's ability to process asylum claims, conduct immigration enforcement, and manage border security operations. The legislative action would represent a significant step in resolving the budget standoff affecting one of the government's largest security agencies.
