Talks are intensifying in Washington to reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after weeks of stalemate and increasing airport delays. A Friday night meeting on Capitol Hill is the latest sign that Republicans and the White House are seeking a swift solution to the growing political crisis. Democrats have dismissed GOP efforts to negotiate over ICE tactics as inadequate. However, lawmakers are eager to reach a deal in the next week before Congress leaves town for a lengthy spring recess, amid reports of long lines at airports and a shrinking FEMA money. Democrats remain defiant in their stance that they will not fund DHS without changes to federal law preventing violence.
