Media: U.S. Department of Homeland Security begins partial shutdown
According to The Washington Post, due to lack of necessary funding, some agencies of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security have begun to shut down.
The newspaper said: "On Saturday morning, after negotiations between the White House and Democratic lawmakers on new restrictions for federal immigration officers stalled, most of the funds for the Department of Homeland Security have been exhausted."
The newspaper pointed out that this shutdown involves about 13% of federal civilian employees.
Meanwhile, The Washington Post said that most of the affected Department of Homeland Security employees will work without pay before the crisis is resolved.
At the end of 2025, the United States experienced the longest government shutdown in its history, lasting 43 days, from October 1 to November 12. At that time, members of Congress reached an agreement to extend government funding until January 30 of this year. The second shutdown was a partial shutdown, lasting from January 31 to February 3.
