Senate Passes Partial DHS Funding Bill: Airport Chaos, Cyber Risks, and Unpaid Workers
The Senate unanimously voted to send partial funding to the Department of Homeland Security, ending a 41-day shutdown. The bill covers most DHS operations but excludes ICE and key parts of Customs and Border Protection. Senator Susan Collins emphasized the need to address the longest TSA security lines in history and the increased risks from cyber threats and terrorism. The House may take up the measure on Friday, but nearly two dozen Republicans threaten to block it unless it funds every part of DHS. Leaders on both sides continue negotiations to secure full operations and pay for federal workers before the weekend.
