🇺🇸 US government shuts down over immigration impasse

The US government has officially shut down.

A Senate vote to fund federal agencies until next month failed late Friday evening.

Only essential offices and services will now remain open.

Republicans and Democrats are pointing the finger at each other.

Al Jazeera's Patty Culhane reports from Washington, DC.
