DHS shutdown continues as Senate votes

The impasse has left thousands of federal employees without pay and has impacted operations at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Democrats have accused the Trump administration of using the shutdown as leverage for its mass deportation agenda.

Meanwhile, some Republican senators are exploring a potential compromise that would provide temporary funding in exchange for policy changes.

The outcome of the vote will be a key test of House Speaker Mike Johnson's ability to manage his slim majority and avoid further government disruption.
