1:55Now PlayingWith TSA agents 'running on fumes,' Senate agrees on funding deal for DHS
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Senate has voted to fund much of the Department Of Homeland Security after a lapse of 42 days.
The deal does not include any money for ICE — that division’s funding was supplemented with an extra $75 billion through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act last summer. The deal also does not include any reforms to immigration enforcement tactics that Democrats had demanded. If the House signs off on the deal today, money will flow again to FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard and cybersecurity.
The deal came after a week of erratic negotiations — and President Trump moving to unilaterally pay TSA agents via an executive order. Meanwhile, TSA workers say they’re exhausted — physically and financially.
