Capitol Hill Stalemate: DHS Reopening Talks Stall
The push to reopen the Department of Homeland Security has stalled on Capitol Hill.
Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, March 25, 2026 —
The push to reopen the Department of Homeland Security has stalled on Capitol Hill, with both parties at a standstill ahead of Congress’s two-week recess.
Senior lawmakers, including Senate GOP leader John Thune, Sen. Katie Britt, and House Speaker Mike Johnson, are pressuring each other to reach a deal, amid growing frustration, airport security lines, and fears that voters will blame Republicans for the shutdown.
A brief GOP-led compromise plan failed to get bipartisan backing, contributing to the current stalemate.
