The partial U.S. government shutdown entered its third day Monday as Democrats pressed for immigration reforms as part of any funding deal.

The Senate approved five spending bills but delayed full-year funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), instead passing a two-week stopgap to allow more negotiation.

Democrats are seeking changes to DHS operations, including requiring ICE agents to wear body cameras and banning masks, citing recent fatal shootings during federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis.

The House must approve the Senate package before it can reach President Trump, but procedural hurdles and a narrow Republican majority make passage uncertain, the BBC has reported.

Meanwhile, thousands of federal agents remain deployed in Minnesota under Operation Metro Surge, and Democrats have threatened to oppose DHS funding until reforms are enacted.
