US Government Enters Partial Shutdown Amid Funding Deadlock

• The US government initiated a partial shutdown early Saturday after the Senate approved a revised funding package.
• The House of Representatives is not expected to approve the changes until Monday, leading to the shutdown.
• The Senate separated funding for the Department of Homeland Security, postponing it for two weeks to negotiate ICE restrictions.
• Democrats demand restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including body cameras and no masks for agents.
• The bill now heads to the House, requiring a two-thirds majority and bipartisan support to reach President Trump's desk.
