Trump Urges Congress to End Recess, Fund DHS Amid Longest Shutdown
President Trump is pressuring Congress to abandon their two-week recess and return to Washington to fund the Department of Homeland Security, now in the midst of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Trump has offered a White House Easter dinner as incentive for lawmakers to resume the funding fight against Democrats. The Senate passed a bill funding most of DHS but excluding Immigration and Customs Enforcement and parts of Customs and Border Protection, while House Republicans rejected it and proposed a sixty-day full funding plan. TSA workers received their first paychecks in over a month due to a Trump memo, but many other unpaid employees, such as those at FEMA, cybersecurity agencies, and Coast Guard civilians, continue to cause disruptions at airports and beyond. Democrats demand immigration enforcement reforms following a deadly shooting by agents earlier this year, while Republicans insist on full border funding. Trump calls for a permanent solution, but with recess until mid-April, the impasse persists.
