Republicans are putting pressure on Democrat lawmakers over the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown, which is creating long lines at airports for spring break travelers.on X, DHS shared a video of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt being asked by a reporter what the White House’s message is “to the American people that are struggling” during this shutdown.

“President Trump wants the Department of Homeland Security, he wants TSA, he wants FEMA, he wants the brave men and women of our United States Coast Guard to receive their paychecks, and he wants this department to be fully funded, and fully reopened,” Leavitt answered. Leavitt added that Americans who are “showing up to an airport and facing incredibly long wait times and lines” should call their Democrat member of Congress and “tell them to fund the Department of Homeland Security.” “It’s completely ridiculous that the American people are suffering as a result of these partisan games that are being played by Democrats on Capitol hill,” Leavitt added. Senate Majority Leader John Thune noted that the DHS shutdown was “impacting important functions like cybersecurity, Border Patrol, TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA.” “We are 25 days in Democrats’ DHS shutdown, and now they don’t even want to sit down and have negotiations,” Thune wrote in aon X. “This shutdown is impacting important functions like cybersecurity, Border Patrol, TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA, which are all more important than ever in these dangerous times.”, the DHS shutdown — which came after funding ran out in February, has led to Americans facing long lines at airports such as the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and William P. Hobby Airport in Houston, Texas, as airports are facing TSA staffing shortages. The Atlanta International Airport advised that passengers should arrive “at least 3 hours before” their flights, while Hobby Airport advised that passengers should “arrive 4-5 hours” before their flights.Candace Cameron Bure Says A Friend Once Invited Her to 'Demonic' Sex PartyCODE RED: Why JD Vance’s Framing of AI Will Define the Future of Global Politics Hegseth: Iran’s Military Power ‘Systematically Annihilated’ — War ‘Ends on Our Timeline,’ No ‘Endless Nation‑Building’Trump Warns Iran Not to Put Mines in Strait of Hormuz as U.S. Takes Out ‘Inactive Mine Laying Boats’ Exclusive–Brendan Carr: FCC Is Cracking Down on Overseas Call Center Scams, Requiring Standard English Proficiency, Reducing RobocallsWATCH: Southwest Flight Diverted Due to Passenger Scare Involving Phone Alert Marking Ramadan Prayer TimePresident Trump’s Executive Order Is the Last Chance to Save College Sports‘Full House’ Star Candace Cameron Bure Recalls a Friend Inviting Her to a ‘Demonic’ Sex Party: ‘Disgusting and Gross’
