White House urges Congress to end DHS shutdown by passing funding over Easter break
The White House is urging Congress to end its Easter recess early to pass a bill providing funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which remains in shutdown mode due to a standoff between Democrats and Republicans. The shutdown has disrupted TSA operations and airport security services, according to the administration.
The White House is urging Congress to return early from its Easter recess to address the ongoing shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which has caused disruptions to TSA operations and airport security. The DHS shutdown began due to a disagreement over funding, and the White House believes that Congressional action is needed to resolve the issue promptly. If not addressed, the shutdown may continue, leading to further inconvenience for travelers. The administration is urging lawmakers to work together to pass legislation that would fund the DHS without additional conditions.
