Bypassing Congress, Trump says he'll sign order to resume pay for Homeland Security
Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
President Trump announced an executive order to resume pay for Department of Homeland Security employees during a funding lapse, bypassing Congress.
AI Summary
President Trump announced he will issue an executive order to resume pay for Department of Homeland Security employees during a funding lapse, circumventing the need for congressional action. The DHS faced a shutdown after the House rejected a Senate funding plan that would have financed most of the agency but excluded its immigration enforcement operations. Trump's move to unilaterally restore pay represents an attempt to end the impasse without waiting for lawmakers to resolve their dispute over the scope of DHS funding. The funding gap had threatened to extend into the following week as House Republicans balked at the Senate proposal's limitations on immigration enforcement, a key Trump administration priority. The executive order signals Trump's willingness to use unilateral authority rather than rely on Congress to resolve the standoff.
