One Month Later, the DHS Shutdown Shows No Signs of Ending
The 27-day partial shutdown has left 50,000 TSA agents unpaid and stalled FEMA relief efforts, as Senate votes face deadlock over ICE funding.
- On Thursday, March 12, the U.S. Senate failed 51-46 to advance HR 7147 and end the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, coming up nine votes short on day 27.
- A standoff over immigration enforcement has kept DHS partially unfunded as Democrats say they will withhold support without statutory limits on Immigration and Customs Enforcement after fatal shootings, while Republicans blocked a funding measure.
- Across DHS, roughly 120,000 employees are working without pay or furloughed, disrupting TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard, Cybersecurity, and Secret Service operations.
- With the House out for the week and the Senate not returning until Monday, March 16, 2026 at 10 a.m. ET, a near-term resolution seems unlikely.
- ICE, Border Patrol and most of the Coast Guard remain funded under President Donald Trump's $170 billion One Big Beautiful Bill, while DHS-related payments for 2026 FIFA World Cup host cities have not arrived.
