Jan 29 (Reuters) – Democrats in the U.S. ‍Senate were on track to block legislation that ‌would fund ‌the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security and other ​government agencies, as ‍they ​demanded new ​controls to ‍rein in immigration enforcement operations across the nation.

Congress ‍will trigger a partial government shutdown ‍if ‍the spending ​bills ​are ⁠not passed by ‌midnight on Friday.
