The U.S. Senate approved a spending package on Friday to fund most federal agencies through September, but the House's recess delayed approval, triggering a partial government shutdown. The measure isolates Department of Homeland Security funding for two weeks amid demands for immigration enforcement reforms following deadly shootings in Minneapolis. Lawmakers expect the brief lapse to have minimal impact if the House acts swiftly on Monday.
The U.S. Senate postponed a vote on a bipartisan funding agreement Thursday night following objections from Sen. Lindsey Graham, potentially leading to a partial government shutdown at midnight Friday. The deal, endorsed by President Trump, would fund most government operations until September while extending Department of Homeland Security funding for two weeks to negotiate immigration enforcement reforms. Graham opposed separating DHS funding and the repeal of a provision allowing senators to sue over phone record access.
