DHS Funding Crisis Looming

Newly instated DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has informed lawmakers that the department's remaining funds are 'dried up,' risking a return to long lines and security walkouts.

Senate Republicans are working through the night to pass a funding package for immigration enforcement agencies over Democratic objections.

The stalemate has forced DHS employees to barter for basic office supplies as the agency's operational capacity reaches a breaking point.

While Republicans seek to bypass the Democratic blockade, the ongoing closure continues to impact everything from border patrol operations to TSA staffing levels.
