Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder on Capitol Hill. The House is set to hold a key procedural vote Tuesday on on a bill that would end the partial government shutdown. The Senate passed a spending package last week that separates Homeland Security funding from a larger government spending bill. With the House now getting back to work, Speaker Mike Johnson says he's confident that the slim Republican majority will soon approve a spending package that will bring the shutdown to an end. And he was asked about he was asked Monday about that DHS bill. The DHS bill will be debated, decided over the next two weeks, so we'll have to see. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Monday that Democrats will not support the DHS bill unless immigration enforcement agents are reined in. Democrats want to see changes following the shooting deaths of two Americans by federal agents in Minneapolis. In Texas, a measles outbreak has been reported at the ICE Immigrant Family detention center about 70 miles southwest of San Antonio. From Texas Public Radio, Dave Martin Davies reports.

Two active cases of measles and detainees have been reported at the same immigration detention center where preschooler Liam Conejo Ramos was held in South Texas. He was released on Saturday. San Antonio Congressman Joaquin Castro, a Democrat, confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security notified him of the outbreak following his recent visit. ICE Health Services immediately took steps to quarantine and control further spread of the virus, according to a statement from Homeland Security. And all detainees are receiving proper medical care. More than 1400 people, including infants as young as 2 months, have been detained at the facility. For NPR News, I'm David Martin Davies in San Antonio.

As part of its required disclosure of the Jeffrey Epstein files, the Justice Department was supposed to redact any sexually explicit images and information that could identify victims. They failed to do that in some cases before releasing around 3 million documents last Friday. In some cases, even nude images of young women or possibly even teens were released. The doj, in a statement, says it takes victim protection, quote, very seriously and that they've taken down pages where they were notified of identifiable information that was released.

Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Epstein. The decision could hold off a planned House vote on criminal contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena. This is NPR News. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says the department is requiring all federal officers on the ground in Minneapolis to wear body cameras. She made the announcement Monday in a social media post amid increased scrutiny of the conduct of immigration enforcement agents, saying the body cam requirement will be expanded nationally as funding becomes available. A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from revoking temporary protections for some 350,000 people from Haiti. The judge Monday granted a request to halt an effort to terminate what's called temporary protected status for Haitians. Without it, Haitian TPS holders could face deportation to Haiti. An international sports tribunal in Switzerland has denied an appeal by US Sled racer Katie Ulander. She hoped to compete in the Milan Cortina Game Winter Games, but she says she was cheated out of the competition by a point rigging scheme. The Court of Arbitration for a Sport ruled it lacks jurisdiction in the case. As NPR's Brian Mann reports, this scandal.

Began last month when Ulander competed well in a qualifying skeleton sled race and hoped to win enough qualifying points to secure a spot on the US Olympic team. But she alleges a Canadian coach manipulated the point system, costing her what would have been a sixth trip to the winter. The US Olympic and Paralympic Committee called Ulander's treatment unfair. A major international sled federation also said point manipulation did occur, but Ulander was still sidelined. So she filed one last appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. A review panel ruled that for technical reasons, they lacked jurisdiction, leaving Ulander out of these Olympics.
