Senate Republican says there’s ‘no end in sight’ for partial shutdown

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said Sunday that the partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security shows "no end in sight," now in its 36th day of closure. Johnson's comments suggest Republican leadership sees no imminent resolution to the funding dispute that has left DHS partially shuttered. The ongoing shutdown has become a point of tension within the GOP, with Johnson's remarks indicating frustration over the impasse while suggesting President Trump may take independent action to address the situation. The DHS shutdown affects border security operations, immigration enforcement, and other critical functions at one of the government's largest departments. The stalemate underscores divisions within Congress over government funding as negotiations continue.
