The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) remains in shutdown after lawmakers last week failed to reach an agreement to fund the agency.
Funding lapsed on Feb. 13 after a final monetary patch was rejected in the Senate.
It included none of the reform provisions requested by Senate Democrats, who uniformly rejected the legislation, with the exception of Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.).

However, with the current state of negotiations, that shutdown could go for much longer.
