U.S. federal government enters partial shutdown amid immigration enforcement dispute, expected to be lifted next week

[Financial News] The Federal government of the United States has entered a partial, temporary shutdown due to political conflict over immigration enforcement policy.
According to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon), the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department), the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the U.S. Department of Labor (Labor Department) went into shutdown at 12:01 a.m. on the 30th (local time).
Funding for these agencies will be suspended until a budget package passes the United States House of Representatives. If the shutdown is prolonged, federal employees will face furloughs without pay or be required to work without pay.
Earlier, the Democratic Party of the United States (Democratic Party) had demanded that the budget for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), be separated from the existing spending bill. The party vowed not to approve DHS funding until the Trump administration agreed to reforms that would curb ICE’s hard-line immigration enforcement.
In response, President Donald Trump and the Democratic Party agreed to split off five other spending bills and pass that package separately, excluding the Department of Homeland Security. A stopgap measure was approved to extend current DHS funding for an additional two weeks.
If the United States House of Representatives resumes session next week after its recess and moves forward with the budget process in a full floor vote, the partial shutdown is expected to be lifted. The two parties are likely to continue negotiations over the full-year budget for the Department of Homeland Security.
Recently in Minneapolis, Minnesota, two civilians were killed in separate incidents involving gunfire by federal agents. Public backlash has grown rapidly, and the Republican Party (GOP) and the Democratic Party are now locked in a standoff over the DHS funding bill.
This is the second shutdown since Donald Trump returned to office as president of the United States.
