"House Majority Whip Tom Emmer emphasized the necessity of fully funding the Department of Homeland Security, stating that law enforcement officers executed their duties flawlessly despite uncertainties regarding their paychecks."
"The administration has warned that the temporary measures to pay DHS employees will deplete by the first week of May, potentially leading to chaos at U.S. airports."
House Republicans are confronting critical debates over various legislation, including DHS funding, which has been stalled for 73 days. The administration warns of potential chaos at airports if funding is not restored by early May.

They demand additional funding for ICE and Border Patrol, while Senate Republicans seek to increase immigration agency budgets. The recent shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner has intensified calls for DHS funding.
