The Senate has approved a bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, excluding the immigration enforcement operations that have been central to the ongoing budget impasse. The deal, approved without a roll call, does not include any restrictions Democrats have demanded to block Trump's mass deportation agenda. The White House had considered invoking a national emergency to pay the TSA agents, a politically and legally fraught action. Instead, the order will be paid through money from his 2025 tax bill. The funding shutdown has resulted in travel delays and warnings of airport closures as TSA workers stop coming to work due to missing paychecks.
