YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Department of Homeland Security is barreling toward a shutdown after Democrats refused to budge on a funding bill and lawmakers left Washington, D.C., for a 10-day break. At issue are disagreements over ICE reform and the department's funding, set to expire at midnight on Friday.

Lisa Desjardins spoke to Geoff Bennett about the likelihood of a partial shutdown and who would feel the impacts.
