Possible government shutdown over Homeland Security budget
Republicans, who control Congress, are seeking to remove funding for Mr Obama's attempt to save undocumented immigrants from deportation.
The department of homeland security protects the US borders, and guards against disasters and terror attacks.
Mr Obama's plan to temporarily lift the threat of deportation for about five million undocumented immigrants has become a sticking point between the two parties.
Unless agreement is reached, a partial government shutdown will follow, which would limit the agency's ability to respond to terror threats, its head has warned.
