Furlough...

The Senate failed to pass a short-term spending bill that the House passed on Thursday night. The House bill would have extended the shutdown deadline into February, but it failed to get enough votes in the Senate to overcome a filibuster  with both Democrats and Republicans voting in opposition.

But because the bill lacks language on DACA, many Democrats have said they cannot support it.  As a result of the shut down, many of the federal government employees [5 times of DACA] will face a furlough.

A furlough is the placing of an employee in a temporary nonduty, nonpay status because of lack of work or funds.
