Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube().
The Department of Homeland Security shut down early Saturday amid a congressional funding impasse that shows no sign of ending soon, touched off by backlash over the Trump administration’s widespread and aggressive immigration enforcement raids.
The lapse in funding could last for weeks, with Congress on a recess and no agreement on Democratic demands to enact new limits on the tactics employed by immigration officers patrolling American cities.
The effects of the shutdown will be limited, but would grow over time. Unlike the record 43-day shutdown late last year, most US departments are funding through Sept. 30. In addition, more than 90% of DHS employees are deemed essential and will continue to work during the shutdown.
