Axios reporter Jake Sherman stated in an X post between 10:46 p.m. and 11:45 p.m. UTC on Jan. 24, 2026, that the ICE situation presents a nightmare for the Senate, with Democrats unable to support a six-bill funding package including DHS funding, risking a government shutdown on Friday as the first procedural vote may not occur until Wednesday. Sherman noted the House is on recess and any bill changes would require House action, leaving limited room to maneuver, according to his X post at https://x.com/JakeSherman/status/2015172731583476075. He tagged reporters Andrew Desiderio and Bres reports in the post. This assessment follows announcements over the past hour from Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), LBR (D) and Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) vowing to vote against DHS funding, citing ICE's actions including the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, per their X posts between 10:16 p.m. and 10:45 p.m. UTC. Earlier DHS confirmation at 5:42 p.m. UTC stated Border Patrol officers fatally shot an armed suspect resisting arrest during an ICE operation near Nicollet and 27th streets at 9:05 a.m. CT, after which about 200 rioters assaulted officers, according to the DHS X post.
