0:58Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump was non-committal when asked if he planned to negotiate with Democrats over funding for DHS, telling reporters both sides are "talking," but saying "Democrats have gone crazy."
A Saturday shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security is all but inevitable after the Senate failed to advance a funding bill and headed out on a week-long recess without a deal regarding new limits on immigration enforcement.
Many department employees will be expected to work without pay during a shutdown, but those carrying out immigration enforcement activities at Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection will likely be paid even during a longer shutdown.
The effects of a DHS shutdown will be minimal, with 92% of DHS employees remaining at work, and activities essential to protecting life and property continuing, but a prolonged shutdown could start to see longer lines at airports and a bit more impact to everyday activities.
