We will show what we know and where it came from.
DHS is technically open but without legitimate funding authority. Every week without a deal increases risk of real disruption.
Why this matters
The Department of Homeland Security funding deadline passed February 13th without a deal. DHS is technically in a partial shutdown but continuing operations on funds from last year's reconciliation bill — a temporary fix that won't last. The sticking point: Democrats want accountability measures like body cameras and ID badges for immigration enforcement agents before signing off on new funding.

If a deal passes
If deadlock continues
What to say
“Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm calling from [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling about the DHS funding impasse — the February 13th deadline passed without a deal.”
I want a deal that passes DHS funding...
“with accountability measures included. Body cameras and ID badges for enforcement agents are reasonable transparency measures.”
I want a clean DHS funding bill...
“passed without conditions. These workers need certainty and the country needs functioning border and homeland security agencies.”
I support funding with strong oversight...
“Congress should pass DHS appropriations and use the regular oversight process to address accountability — not hold workers hostage.”
“When does the Senator expect a resolution on DHS funding? Thank you for your time.”
Common questions
I'm flying soon — should I worry?
TSA agents are currently working. But without stable funding, any escalation could lead to staffing strain and longer security lines.
I live near the border — what does this mean for me?
Border Patrol is operational, but accountability questions remain unresolved. Some versions of a deal add body cameras and ID badge requirements for agents.
I work for DHS — am I at risk?
Right now DHS is funded through reconciliation bill carryover, but that has limits. Without a proper appropriations bill, your funding situation remains uncertain.
