The US Senate and House of Representatives adjourn starting today, making a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security almost a certainty.

Because the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States could not reach a consensus on relevant reform plans, the Senate failed to pass an appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security on the 12th, local time, with only one day left before its funding expired. Given that both the House and Senate will begin a 10-day recess on the 14th, media outlets widely believe that this makes a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security virtually inevitable. It is understood that the Department of Homeland Security may be shut down from 00:00 local time on the 14th, which is 13:00 Beijing time on the 14th. (Jinshi)
