USA faces possible new government shutdown

On February 13, the temporary funding for the Department of Homeland Security ends.

Democrats said they are ready to block the extension because of a disagreement with Republicans over ICE reform and funding.

In fall 2025, the shutdown lasted 43 days.

In early February 2026, it lasted four days.

Now, the risk of another shutdown is real.

Important: because Congress holidays are coming, the situation could last longer.
