'Nowhere close to deal': Thune warns DHS Shutdown as GOP rebukes ICE reform demands in Capitol clash

A government shutdown showdown is brewing in Washington. Senate Republican Leader John Thune warns Congress is 'nowhere close' to a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security as a fierce battle over ICE reforms divides Capitol Hill. Democrats are demanding new restrictions on federal immigration enforcement after the Minneapolis shootings, while Republicans call those demands 'unrealistic' and accuse the left of holding national security hostage. With the funding deadline approaching, negotiations are sputtering, and the risk of DHS shutting down is rising by the hour.
