Shutdown looms after 2nd ICE shooting

Senate Democrats will block a massive funding package after a second deadly ICE shooting in Minneapolis, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Saturday.

Funding for the vast majority of the federal government expires on Friday, raising the specter of a shutdown for key departments, including the Pentagon and the departments of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Interior and others.
