DHS has entered a shutdown following expiration of funding.
With Congress scheduled to go into recess, the shutdown could last for weeks.
A majority of DHS employees — including those within TSA, FEMA, and ICE — are considered essential, meaning they will continue working without immediate pay.

It’s “Democrats have refused to fund” DHS and not “Republicans refused to prohibit face masks” or “the two parties could not agree on how to reform the agency.”

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
