Chris Cuomo opens “CUOMO” weighing in on the nearly 40-day DHS shutdown, arguing the impasse began with political fallout from ICE actions in Minnesota and has since escalated amid broader security concerns.
The department entered a shutdown earlier this month after Senate Democrats failed to pass the House's DHS funding bill because of objections to immigration enforcement.
'Shutdowns have real world consequences'
Democrats have made a new offer to the White House in negotiations to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, which shut down on Saturday over a fight centered on Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The White House on Tuesday indicated that a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security is a ways off, despite more than a week of talks between the two sides over Democratic demands to reform Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
On Friday’s “Finnerty,” E.D. Hill discussed the impact of a government shutdown as one looms.
Senate Democrats voted Thursday to block a motion to advance a House-passed bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, putting Washington on the brink of a partial government shutdown that will affect more than 260,000 federal employees. The motion, which required 60 votes, failed to advance by a vote of 52-47. Democrats blocked the legislation [...]
Democratic leaders who are demanding sweeping reforms to the Trump administration‘s immigration enforcement tactics said Monday that a counterproposal from the White House was “incomplete and insufficient.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said in a joint statement that Republicans shared with them an outline of their proposal, “which included neither details nor legislative text.” Read More: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5730963-schumer-jeffries-white-house-immigration-dhs-proposal/ https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5729965-live-updates-trump-dhs-funding-shutdown/
Congress is running out of time to avert a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), an effort that is increasingly fraught as bipartisan negotiations fizzle. A funding package passed earlier this week included a two-week stopgap measure for DHS, funding it at 2025 levels through Feb. 13. Lawmakers have until that deadline to strike a deal for the full-year 2026 bill, agree to another stopgap to buy more time to negotiate, or allow a shutdown that would affect a wide swath of agencies that fall under DHS’s purview.
Congress moved a day closer to a partial government shutdown on Wednesday after Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) laid out a list of major reforms that Democrats want to make to the Department of Homeland Security, proposals that will likely encounter resistance from President Trump.
Chris Cuomo says Congress is again heading toward a potential government shutdown as tensions rise over ICE tactics following recent incidents in Minnesota. He argues that while Democrats are pushing for reforms, a shutdown would not halt ICE or Border Patrol operations because the agencies are funded through separate long‑term appropriations.
