Homeland Security shutdown leaves TSA, FEMA workers unpaid amid standoff

The Department of Homeland Security has run out of funding due to stalled immigration enforcement reforms, leading to a partial government shutdown where federal workers like TSA agents and FEMA staff continue to work without pay. While ICE and Border Patrol remain funded, critical agencies face challenges, with union leaders highlighting the financial strain on workers. Lawmakers are demanding changes in immigration enforcement policies, citing recent incidents involving federal officers, while Congress remains out of session, with potential negotiations on the horizon.
