WATCH LIVE: The White House holds a press conference as the partial government shutdown continues

Lawmakers and the White House showed no signs of reaching a compromise over the weekend in their battle over oversight of federal immigration officers that has led to a defunding of the Department of Homeland Security.

White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. EST. Watch the live stream in the video player above.

The partial government shutdown began Saturday after Democrats in Congress and President Donald Trump’s team failed to reach an agreement on legislation to fund the department until September.

Democrats are demanding changes in how immigration processes are conducted after the killing of US citizens Alex Peretti and Renee Judd by federal officers in Minneapolis last month.

Unlike the record 43-day shutdown last fall, the closures are narrowly limited, affecting only agencies under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security, including the Transportation Security Administration, the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. But the work of ICE and CBP will continue mostly unabated, thanks to billions in funding from Trump’s 2025 tax cuts and spending law.
