WHITE HOUSE SCRAMBLES TO AVERT DHS SHUTDOWN The White House made a last-minute push to prevent a Department of Homeland Security shutdown, sending legislative text to Democrats ahead of the funding deadline. Democrats are expected to reject the proposal, calling earlier offers “incomplete and insufficient.” Senate Democrats say talks have stalled and insist they won’t back another stopgap measure without agreement on a 10-point plan to reform ICE and CBP. Sen. Jacky Rosen criticized the White House response as lacking detail and accused Republicans of relying on short-term extensions to avoid broader immigration reforms.(*Walter Bloomberg)
