Washington, D.C. – The Senate Democrat-led shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security has dragged on for more than 70 days – and counting. It is the longest shutdown in American history. Despite terrorist-linked attacks in U.S. communities and another attempt on President Trump’s life just last weekend, Senate Democrats – rallied by Chuck Schumer – continue to deny full, reliable funding to key security agencies and operations.

Washington, D.C. – House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement regarding President Trump’s action to pay all Department of Homeland Security personnel who have missed compensation due to the Democrat-driven shutdown.

Washington, D.C. – The Democrat-led shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security has now surpassed any shutdown in history. Since February, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his caucus have directed DHS personnel to work without guaranteed paychecks, wreaked havoc at airports across the nation, and purposely limited resources to protect the homeland. And to add insult to injury, as the crisis they created drags on, they’ve headed out of town for a two-week recess.

March 27, 2026
Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed the House Amendment to the Senate Amendment to H.R. 7147, the Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026. The legislation fully reopens the Department of Homeland Security, pays all personnel, and ensures critical operations are resourced and ready.
