Lawmakers in deadlock over DHS funding, with Democrats blocking money for ICE and CBP until accountability for Minneapolis deaths. Presidents nominee urges Congress to end stalemate. House Democrats push discharge petition to force vote on bill funding TSA and other parts but skipping enforcement agencies. Republicans argue for full funding, comparing dispute to ignoring threats before 9/11. Democrats call enforcement arms unaccountable. Airport delays worsen as unpaid TSA screeners call out or quit. Negotiations continue, with White House highlighting agreed changes like body cameras for officers and better oversight. Democrats say its not enough, and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer wants more action. In the Senate, Democrats proposed funding just TSA through September, but Republicans countered with short-term cash for the whole department. No deal yet, as both sides dig in amid growing impacts on workers and travelers.
