Trump Joins Negotiations as Homeland Security Faces Shutdown

Donald Trump announced his personal involvement in negotiations to resolve a partial government shutdown after Senate Democrats blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security.The legislative impasse centers on demands for immigration enforcement reforms, including body camera mandates and mask-wearing bans for federal agents, following recent fatal shootings in Minneapolis.While essential security operations continue, the lapse affects 61,000 transport security employees and coincides with Donald Trump shifting military assets to the Mideast.
