US Senate Grants Two-Week Extension for DHS Funding Amid ICE Negotiation Standoff
The US Senate passed a federal budget on Friday evening, providing a temporary two-week extension for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding. This measure delays an imminent shutdown, forcing immediate negotiations over new restrictions for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). If lawmakers fail to reach an agreement, DHS funding will expire once the extension concludes.
