Congress returns to Washington to deal on government shutdown

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are facing a contentious few days as they work to pass a funding bill and avoid a prolonged partial government shutdown. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he is confident President Donald Trump can help secure passage of the legislation in the coming days. Democrats, however, are keeping their attention on overhauling the president’s immigration policy, citing the recent shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by federal immigration agents.
