Trump announces executive order to pay all DHS employees during partial government shutdown
President Trump announced on Thursday that he will sign an executive order to pay all Department of Homeland Security employees who have gone without paychecks during a 48-day partial government shutdown. The announcement comes as Congress remains deadlocked over DHS funding, with Democrats refusing to fund ICE and CBP without immigration enforcement reforms. The House failed to vote on a Senate-passed funding bill that would fund most of DHS except immigration enforcement agencies.
