Jan. 25 (UPI) -- The U.S. government is poised for a partial shutdown Friday as Democratic lawmakers reject additional funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
The legislation, which has already been approved by the House of Representatives, also allocates money for the departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Labor, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Education, State and Treasury.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement would receive some $10 billion of the $64.4 billion earmarked for DHS.
Senate Democrats said Sunday that they will not approve the spending bill while that funding is included.
