YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Senate Republican leaders plan to reject Democratic demands to split off funding for the Department of Homeland Security and pass the rest of a giant funding package needed to avert a partial government shutdown this week, a Senate GOP aide said.

While some Senate Republicans have insisted on a full investigation after Border Patrol agents killed Alex Pretti on Saturday, Republicans will still try to pass the full spending package that has money for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol.

Votes in the Senate would not start until Tuesday evening due to a snowstorm that has gripped most of the country.

Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer have insisted that DHS funding be split off until Congress can agree on new guardrails for immigration enforcement, after agents killed two US citizens so far this year in Minnesota.

Unless Democrats or Republicans relent, funding of much of the government would lapse on Jan. 31, disrupting operations at numerous agencies including the departments of Defense and Health and Human Services.

The House is out of town until after the shutdown deadline and would also need to approve any changes to the package.

Any changes to the bill before the deadline would require unanimous consent given Senate procedures and several Republicans, such as Rick Scott of Florida, say they will not agree to split the bill.

President Donald Trump in a Sunday evening Truth Social post blamed Democrats for the events in Minnesota and showed no sign of compromising. Bloomberg reporter Tiwa Adebayo joins Stephen Carroll and Caroline Hepker with the latest.
