Republican leaders in Congress reach a deal to fund most of DHS, excluding immigration enforcement, potentially ending the longest government shutdown. TSA workers, part of DHS, faced massive lines and hours-long waits due to unpaid status. Democrats blocked full funding earlier, demanding new rules, but got none in this deal. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune plan to use a budget trick to fund ICE with just Republican votes. Both chambers are in recess until next week, with ceremonial sessions planned for Thursday to possibly seal the deal. This move is seen as a win for border security advocates, but Democrats criticize it as GOP chaos, with tougher talks looming on the bigger reconciliation package.
