DHS Funding and Shutdown Crisis

DHS Funding and Shutdown Crisis

Senate Republicans have approved a budget resolution that sets the stage for a party-line vote to fund the Department of Homeland Security.

The move comes as Secretary Markwayne Mullin warns that the agency is at a 'breaking point' and will run out of resources to pay salaries by next month.

Democrats continue to oppose the measure, demanding guardrails on immigration enforcement and protesting the administration's mass deportation policies.

The standoff has caused significant disruptions at major airports and ports of entry across the country.
