DHS funding lapse is now the longest government shutdown in U.S. history
The DHS partial shutdown has lasted 44 days, causing nearly 500 TSA officers to quit and creating long airport security lines nationwide, officials said.
- On Sunday, the Department of Homeland Security funding lapse became the longest partial government shutdown in U.S. history, reaching its 44th day.
- Republicans and Democrats remain deadlocked over funding, with Republicans accusing Democrats of seeking to "defund the police" and reopen borders, while Democrats demand immigration enforcement guardrails.
- Airport security wait times have surged to 4.5 hours, with around 500 Transportation Security Administration officers resigning since the shutdown began in February.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson advanced an eight-week funding bill 213–203 on Friday, though Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it "dead on arrival."
- President Donald Trump ordered TSA paychecks to resume by Monday, yet staffing shortages mean operational strains will likely persist through the spring travel season.
