US Homeland Security Department’s funding negotiations stall | Politics News
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) entered a partial shutdown on Saturday due to stalled funding negotiations between Democrats and Republicans. The shutdown affects agencies like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), ICE, and the US Coast Guard. Democrats have called for changes to DHS immigration operations following two fatal shootings by federal officers in Minneapolis last month, including a ban on mask-wearing and increased oversight of their actions. However, Republican officials like Tom Homan, Trump's former border chief, and Senator Markwayne Mullin have dismissed these demands as "unreasonable" and "political theatre".
