On Thursday, Senate Democrats blocked two funding bills. Their stated reason for blocking the measures was the absence of included immigration reforms.

A previous funding measure, which was passed at the end of January, had allocated funds for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for a two-week period. This temporary funding arrangement was implemented while lawmakers from both parties worked towards an agreement on immigration reforms.
