Previously, Washington Inside reported that due to the current partial government shutdown, airports across the United States are suffering from severe staffing shortages, resulting in extremely long security lines that have enraged travelers and triggered a wave of negative media coverage. Meanwhile, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have been deployed to assist at airports. Faced with this situation, the White House appears to be preparing to accept a deal proposed by Senate Republicans to end the shutdown. This content will be incorporated into a new bipartisan budget reconciliation proposal put forward by Republicans, which would fund most operations within the Department of Homeland Security—but not ICE enforcement actions, which have already been funded through a comprehensive major Republican bill. Trump has not yet publicly commented on the proposal, but White House officials said Tuesday morning that this still-unfinalized bipartisan agreement "looks like an acceptable solution."
