Lawmakers are leaving Washington, D.C., without a deal to prevent a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Senate Democrats blocked a full-year funding bill and a short-term extension, demanding strict reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

With both chambers on recess, DHS is expected to close at midnight Friday unless an agreement is reached.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said lawmakers would be on 24-hour notice if negotiations progress, but talks remain stalled, Fox News has reported.

Both parties blame each other for the impasse, with Democrats citing insufficient reforms and Republicans criticizing the political gridlock.
