Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. The government is heading toward another partial shutdown

unless there's a deal on paying for the Department of Homeland Security. And Pierce-Lup Garrett

reports the top House Democrat, though, says negotiations have stalled. Democrats demand changes

to DHS after its agents killed two Minnesotans in January.

Minority leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries want a requirement for judicial warrants,

better identification for DHS officers, and new use of forced standards.

Last week, Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the demands, quote, unrealistic.

And Jeffries tells CNN this Sunday the two sides aren't talking.

Unfortunately, we haven't heard back from the White House or Mike Johnson or speaker or

leader Thune in terms of the demands that we've put on the table.

The DHS funding deadline is midnight Friday. Its agencies like the Coast Guard, the TSA,

and FEMA would be affected if funding lapses.

Meanwhile, DHS's mass deportation agenda would still have money to operate despite the shutdown.
