Democrats and Republicans blame each other over DHS shutdown, delaying critical agency funding amid rising security threats.
Democrats Adam Schiff and Cory Booker declined to assign blame for the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown, which began February 14 and has left thousands of federal workers unpaid.
Both emphasized the urgency of restoring operations amid rising terrorism threats and recent shootings, with Schiff noting Republicans rejected Democratic votes to reopen key agencies like TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA.
Booker supports funding for TSA, CISA, and the Coast Guard but opposes further funding for ICE.
Republicans, including John Cornyn, accused Democrats of blocking a resolution, claiming ICE was already funded and criticizing the impact on air travel.
The standoff continues, with national security and emergency preparedness concerns mounting.
