'House Dems unlikely to vote to reopen government'

 United States House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told House Speaker Mike Johnson that Democratic lawmakers will not help Republicans pass the spending bill to reopen the government, US media reported on Saturday. According to CNN, the Democrats said the legislation is "not their deal to pass," and they are not "inclined to help the GOP out."

The dispute between the parties over government funding centers around the Democrats' refusal to allocate resources for the Department of Homeland Security, whose Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have led a violent crackdown on immigration in Minnesota, including killing two people. A spending bill was adopted by the Senate yesterday, but it also requires a vote in the House, which is set for Monday. Johnson allegedly intends to bring the legislation up for a vote under suspension of the rules, a process that would require a two-thirds majority and would depend on Democratic support.
