00:00Welcome back. A new partial government shutdown in the United States is underway as of midnight February 14th after the
00:07Senate failed to approve a new budget for the Department of Homeland Security, which includes agencies that oversee immigration enforcement.
00:15This new shutdown comes amid the increase in anti-migrant operations by the Trump administration, as legislators are calling for
00:23a reform of immigration and customs enforcement after the killing of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis by ICE agents.
00:30The demands included banning ICE agents from wearing masks to conceal their identities, prohibiting racial profiling and ending immigration rates
00:40on sensitive locations like schools and churches. Without this reform, Senate Democrats withhold their votes from any funding legislation for
00:49DHAs. Let's recall that last year saw the longest government shutdown in the U.S. history, lasting 43 days.
