WASHINGTON — President Trump told The Post that he’s considering forcing Congress to return for a rare special session to resolve the 45-day funding lapse for the Department of Homeland Security. Congress currently is on recess until April 14 — a date that would mark two full months of DHS workers going without pay.

Trump this week restored pay for Transportation Security Administration workers via executive order, though it’s unclear how sustainable that workaround is to resolve travel chaos that saw passengers across the country waiting in line at checkpoints for several hours or more. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a Monday briefing that “nothing will be truly normal again until Democrats do the right thing to fund this agency fully.” DHS includes a broad spectrum of sub-agencies including the Federal Emergency Management against and US Customs and Border Protection and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The shutdown began with Senate Democrats demanding changes to Trump’s campaign to mass-deport illegal immigrants. Republicans have since opposed measures to fund only part of the department while setting aside immigration enforcement for further debate.Three women yanked off plane, arrested at airport after refusing to pay extra baggage feePentagon preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran — as Trump warned regime to ‘get serious’ about peace deal: reportLast day to save on Kyle Richards’ Amazon favorites, from leggings to skincare that ‘makes such a difference’Stream It Or Skip It: 'Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole' On Netflix, Where A Troubled Detective Tracks Down A Serial Killer Who Is Terrorizing Oslo
