White House Warns DHS Funding Will Expire in May Amid Congressional Delays

The White House has warned Congress that funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel, will run out by May. This funding lapse, the longest in the agency's history, raises concerns about potential airport disruptions and national security risks. The Office of Management and Budget urged the House to approve the Senate's budget resolution, which would enable full DHS funding. The House, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, faces internal disputes delaying the vote, expected as soon as Wednesday.
