US EditionWhite House Reviews Democratic Offer to Reopen Homeland Security
The shutdown has led to 300 TSA agents quitting and doubled employee callouts, while Democrats seek immigration reform tied to DHS funding amid stalled talks.
- On Monday, Congressional Democrats sent a new DHS funding offer to Republicans and the White House aiming to end a partial government shutdown that has gone on for weeks.
- Conditioning DHS funding on immigration changes has driven the standoff, with Democrats tying funding to immigration enforcement reforms and Republicans calling those demands radical.
- About 300 Transportation Security Administration agents have resigned since the shutdown began, employee callouts have doubled, and TSA agents missed a partial paycheck and now a full pay period.
- Congressional Democrats sent a new DHS funding offer Monday, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune has not signaled support, suggesting rejection is possible.
- The standoff adds to repeated disruptions: this is the third time in the last year TSA staff have worked without pay, while the two parties accuse each other of negotiating in bad faith.
