DHS Shutdown Reaches Breaking Point

The ongoing closure of the Department of Homeland Security is severely impacting national security operations and border enforcement.

Senate Republicans are attempting to bypass Democratic objections through a complicated budget reconciliation process to provide $70 billion in funding.

Meanwhile, DHS officials warn that the lack of funds will soon lead to longer lines at airports and a reduction in critical security personnel.

The stalemate persists as both parties trade accusations over the fatal shootings of protesters by federal agents earlier this year.
