Does Either Party Want the DHS Shutdown To End?

The Department of Homeland Security shutdown will reach its 40th day tomorrow, and it seems this partisan dispute over immigration enforcement cannot be resolved. It began when Democrats refused to fund the department unless the Trump administration instituted a series of reforms restricting ICE and Border Patrol agents from committing the sort of atrocities that terrorized Minneapolis and other cities last winter. Republicans seemed open to a few small token "guardrails" for federal agents, but they insisted on all-or-nothing DHS funding.
