Homeland Security Shutdown Drags On as House Delays Vote
Despite the Senate passing a funding bill, the House has not held a vote, and President Trump plans to sign an order to pay all DHS employees during the impasse.
The government shutdown impacting the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is set to continue, despite the Senate's passage of a funding bill. The House of Representatives has yet to hold a vote on the Senate measure, leaving the agency without the necessary resources to operate fully.
In a surprising move, President Donald Trump announced that he will sign an executive order to ensure all DHS employees receive their paychecks, even during the ongoing budget impasse. This decision comes as a relief to the thousands of federal workers who have been affected by the partial government shutdown.
