DHS shutdown enters fourth month

Pressure is mounting on Capitol Hill to resolve the longest DHS shutdown in US history.

The conflict centers on a FISA Section 702 reauthorization fight that has stalled broader budget negotiations.

While some Republicans are pushing for a quick deal to restore funding for Border Patrol and ICE, others are demanding stricter Fourth Amendment protections against government spying.

The White House has warned that the continued lack of funding is creating 'brutal chaos' at the border and endangering the constitutional order during a time of war.
