flag A government shutdown over immigration funding has closed the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, affecting non-essential workers.

flag The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force has closed due to a partial government shutdown triggered by a funding impasse over immigration enforcement reforms, following the fatal shooting of two U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis. flag The closure began Saturday and will last until funding is restored, with essential services continuing but non-essential federal workers potentially furloughed. flag Congress has passed half of the fiscal year’s funding bills, keeping programs like nutrition assistance running, but the Department of Homeland Security, Pentagon, and Transportation Department face temporary funding gaps. flag Lawmakers are expected to vote on a two-week temporary funding measure for DHS, which could end the shutdown quickly. flag Previous brief shutdowns had minimal public impact.
