DHS expected to shut down as immigration talks falter

Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters Thursday that Democrats and Republicans are "not close" to a deal on DHS funding, but that a "deal space is there. I think we can get it done."

Senate Democrats blocked two Republican-backed measures Thursday to keep the department open, including a short-term funding extension for two weeks as negotiations continue.
