to avoid a potential prolonged federal government shutdown on Saturday, Senate Democrats have proposed a key condition in exchange: demanding new restrictions on Trump's immigration crackdown.
The government shutdown on Saturday will affect the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Transportation, Department of Education, Department of State, Department of the Treasury, as well as smaller agencies such as the Small Business Administration.
This may delay the highly anticipated Labor Department nonfarm payroll report next week and cause problems for the IRS as the tax season begins this week. Loans from the Small Business Administration and payments to Pentagon contractors will stop, and non-essential government employees will be forced to take leave.
