What Happened
US President Donald Trump called Republican lawmakers to unify behind budget reconciliation legislation funding immigration enforcement, bypassing Democratic opposition. Senate leaders John Thune and Lindsey Graham initiated the effort. A partial government shutdown affecting Department of Homeland Security agencies persists since mid-February, with Democrats blocking ICE and Customs funding until immigration practice reforms occur.
