Senate Democrats are threatening a Schumer-led shutdown by opposing a DHS funding package that includes ICE, raising the odds of a partial government shutdown if a stopgap or appropriations bill isn’t passed by Jan. 31. Several Democratic senators— including Catherine Cortez Masto, Jacky Rosen and Tim Kaine— have announced opposition, demanding reforms to ICE such as warrants for arrests and limits on mask use by agents, even though ICE has reserve funds from a 2025 omnibus. Critics warn that lapses in DHS funding could pause FEMA grants and Coast Guard operations, imperiling disaster response and local emergency services nationwide. (axios.com)

National Guard troops are stationed at all entrances to the Border Patrol shooting scene in south Minneapolis after federal agents shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti on January 24, 2026. The deployment, authorized by Governor Tim Walz, was described as being ready to protect critical infrastructure and assist local law enforcement amid growing protests. Video circulating online shows conflicting accounts — officials say agents encountered an armed man, while bystanders and independent analyses say Pretti was filming and was unarmed when pinned and fired upon. State leaders have demanded a state-led investigation and accused federal agents of obstructing local investigators. (apnews.com)
