CBS News asks every lawmaker in Congress what they're doing to end DHS shutdown

CBS News surveyed all 532 House and Senate offices to determine what individual lawmakers are doing to resolve the Department of Homeland Security funding impasse. The network contacted every congressional office—accounting for three House vacancies—seeking details on each member's efforts to end the shutdown. The inquiry reflects the DHS shutdown's impact on border security operations and other federal functions that depend on the agency. By documenting each lawmaker's stated position and actions, CBS News is creating a public record of congressional responses to the funding crisis. The reporting allows voters and colleagues to assess which members are actively negotiating a resolution versus taking a hands-off approach.
