PANews reported on January 29th that, according to Fox News reporter Chad Pergram, the White House is negotiating a compromise with Senate Democrats and Republicans regarding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) budget bill. However, even if the Senate separates the DHS budget from six spending bills and approves the other five, it could still lead to a 78% government shutdown this Saturday. Differences exist between the Senate and House versions; the House needs to revise the bill and handle the DHS budget separately, but the House is not in session this week and cannot act quickly. Furthermore, the controversy surrounding ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has exacerbated the partisan divide. Senate Democrats have criticized ICE's enforcement methods and called for reforms to alleviate public concerns about chaotic enforcement.
