Shutdown risk rises after fatal Minneapolis shooting

Senate Democrats are blocking a funding package for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after a fatal shooting in Minneapolis involving federal law enforcement. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) stated that Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed with the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included, citing the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis as appalling. Several Senate Democrats have joined Schumer in opposing the DHS funding bill, arguing that it does not include necessary constraints on ICE officers.
