Show Notes
The longest U.S. government shutdown in history, now at 45 days, has left the Department of Homeland Security in limbo, with agencies like TSA and Customs and Border Protection affected. The shutdown began after Democrats demanded changes at Immigration and Customs Enforcement following deadly shootings. A bipartisan Senate deal funded most of DHS but excluded ICE, leading to an executive order from President Trump to pay TSA workers. The impact is significant, with tens of thousands of DHS employees missing paychecks and airport lines backing up. Congress is on recess until April thirteenth, with no deal in sight. Pressure is mounting for an early return, as Senator Mike Lee calls for sessions this Sunday and White House border chief Tom Homan praises ICE agents helping out TSA. The shutdowns grinding on unless a resolution is reached quickly.
