- Democratic leaders tied their support to statutory changes on ICE and CBP practices after two Minnesota deaths and said they are reviewing a White House counteroffer.
- No congressional votes are expected until the middle of next week, keeping the partial shutdown in effect as negotiations continue off the floor.
- Essential DHS personnel are working without pay, with TSA, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service and FEMA facing the sharpest constraints, while ICE and CBP operations continue under previously approved funds.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said she is coordinating with intelligence and law enforcement partners to monitor threats, and New York’s governor deployed police to sensitive sites despite no specific credible threats.
