Department of Homeland Security Experiences Partial Shutdown Amid Funding Disagreements

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is currently experiencing a partial government shutdown due to ongoing disagreements in Congress over funding, particularly concerning reforms for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Essential DHS employees, including those in the U.S. Coast Guard, TSA, FEMA, and Secret Service, continue to work without pay, while non-essential functions are suspended.
