The US government has shut down for the second time in six months after Congress failed to reach an agreement on the yearly budget in time.
Senate Democrats argue they will not join Republicans in expediting the adoption of the Senate-passed funding package.
“We held our ground and made clear our demand – the Senate must separate the Homeland Security bill out of the large appropriations bill and allow this chamber to make real changes to overhaul ICE and to end the violence,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said.
The partial shutdown is expected to be short if the House passes the Senate deal this week.
