February 18, 2026·7 days ago·via The New York Times

The White House rejects Democrats' offer for a deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, which faces shutdown after Congress fails to agree on funding amid demands for reforms to Trump's immigration crackdown. Democrats withhold votes, seeking changes like mask removal for ICE agents following incidents where citizens were fatally shot by DHS employees, even as every other agency secures full-year fiscal 2026 funding.
