How the call settles
YES if Senate Democrats block the pending funding measure over DHS funding and a federal funding lapse follows at the January deadline; NO if the measure or another funding extension passes in time and no shutdown results from the dispute.
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because Senate Democrats rejected the combined appropriations package on January 29, 2026 specifically over DHS/ICE-CBP accountability provisions, forcing Senate leaders to strip DHS out into a short-term continuing resolution on January 30; the resulting delay produced a funding lapse beginning January 31, 2026, directly stemming from the DHS dispute.. Applied stored rule: YES if Senate Democrats block the pending funding measure over DHS funding and a federal funding lapse follows at the January deadline; NO if the measure or another funding extension passes in time and no shutdown results from the dispute.
