Senate Democrats & Trump Reach Deal to Split Off Funding DHS to Avert Shutdown

HeadlineJan 30, 2026

Senate Democrats and President Trump have struck a deal that could avert a government shutdown, but the needed votes have not yet been taken. Under the deal, the Senate would approve funding for most government agencies through September 30, but Department of Homeland Security funding would only continue for two more weeks. Democrats are pushing to place new restrictions on DHS in response to the Trump administration’s deadly immigration crackdown in Minnesota and the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
