Limited government shutdown likely to linger for at least 10 days as Congress takes break | US federal government shutdowns
A partial US government shutdown began on Saturday, affecting approximately 13% of the federal civilian workforce under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The shutdown stems from disagreements between Democrats and Republicans over new restrictions for federal immigration agents following the fatal shootings in Minneapolis. Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader, criticized Mike Johnson, the House speaker, for adjourning Congress instead of continuing negotiations. Despite the shutdown, work at DHS is not expected to be significantly disrupted, but travelers could experience delays at airports.
