- Among the proposed changes are bans on masked federal immigration officers, requirements for body-worn cameras and judicial warrants, plus piecemeal bills funding TSA and other DHS branches separately.
- DHS essential employees have worked without pay, causing airport delays as Senate Democrats blocked DHS funding, risking national-security disruptions.
- With talks stalled, Senate Republicans have proposed two-week unconditional DHS funding to force negotiations, as communication breakdowns persist for two weeks.
