DHS funding hangs in the balance as TSA pay rolls out

House-approved a two-month DHS stopgap sets up a Senate test of unanimous-consent passage; a single objection could keep the department funded only after an April mid-recess, prolonging the shutdown. Meanwhile, TSA officers are beginning to receive emergency pay under an executive order, though not all workers have been paid, and airports warn of longer security lines as travelers are urged to arrive early during the shutdown (now about 45 days in).

Thune maps DHS funding path as TSA pay fix unfolds

Senate Majority Leader John Thune urged Republicans to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security through traditional appropriations for the rest of the year, aiming to resolve ICE and Border Patrol funding later via reconciliation. Trump’s unilateral push to order immediate TSA pay to end the shutdown faced Democratic resistance without reforms. The path forward remains uncertain, with a potential reconciliation route offering a simpler, high‑risk option to fund DHS in a narrowly divided Congress.
