• US government partial shutdown over DHS funding and immigration enforcement restrictions — On January 31, 2026, a partial US government shutdown took effect after Democratic senators blocked a Department of Homeland Security funding bill in response to federal agents killing two US citizens (Alex Pretti and Renee Good) during immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis. Democrats demanded new restrictions on federal agents—including mask bans, body camera requirements, code of conduct provisions, independent investigation of violations, and prohibition of roving patrols. The Senate passed a broader five-department funding package and a two-week DHS extension, but House passage remained uncertain due to Republican demands to couple appropriations with voter ID requirements.
• US Senate approves government funding package with ICE restrictions negotiations — The US Senate voted 71-29 on Friday to approve a major government funding package after two US citizens were killed by federal ICE agents in Minneapolis. The deal includes five spending bills funding defense, labor, and health departments through September, while DHS funding is addressed via a two-week stopgap to allow negotiations on Democratic demands for ICE reforms including body cameras, conduct codes, and restrictions on masked agents and roving patrols. A partial government shutdown was expected to begin at midnight Friday pending House approval.
• Partial government shutdown began affecting federal workforce — A partial government shutdown commenced as Congress remained deadlocked over funding and immigration enforcement restrictions. Federal employees began experiencing immediate impacts including delayed paychecks and service disruptions while lawmakers negotiated shutdown resolution.

• National Review editor McCarthy said DOJ should be defunded if partisan — National Review editor and Fox legal analyst Andy McCarthy stated: "If support for the president is now a condition of enforcing federal law, Congress should defund DOJ. DOJ should only exist if it's nonpartisan. Too dangerous to liberty otherwise. If AG Garland's office had posted this, MAGA and GOP would be calling for impeachment."
