Senate blocks government funding package as DHS dispute stalls talks — will US face a second shutdown?

Democrats opposed the bill due to Homeland Security funding, demanding reforms to ICE's immigration crackdown. A shutdown could impact agencies like the IRS and court operations, though many departments are already funded.
