The lights are going out at the Department of Homeland Security. Senate Democrats have officially pulled the plug, triggering a high-stakes midnight shutdown after a massive stalemate over ICE. The trigger? A radical "Masks Off" ultimatum following the fatal January shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis. While the White House refuses to budge on unmasking federal agents, the consequences are hitting the frontline: the TSA, Secret Service, and Coast Guard are being forced to work for ZERO pay. What to expect? Take a look.   

Protests erupted across the United States following a deadly ICE shooting in Minneapolis, igniting outrage that quickly spread from the Midwest to major cities nationwide. Demonstrators gathered late into the night at Foley Square, calling the rally an emergency response to the killing. Similar scenes unfolded in San Francisco, where hundreds gathered outside ICE offices, while thousands paid tribute at a memorial in Minneapolis despite freezing temperatures.
