House Passes DHS Funding Bill, Senate Talks Stuck

0:00On March 26, the House just squeezed through a Republican bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security after three tries. It passed Thursday on a vote of 218 to 206, with four Democrats crossing over. This aims to wrap up a partial government shutdown that's already lasted 41 days. But the bill now heads to the Senate, where talks are stuck over immigration changes. Republicans call their latest plan a final push, while Democrats want tougher rules on immigration enforcement after some troubling deaths involving agents. Travelers are feeling the pinch hard at airports. Transportation security administration workers, going without paychecks, are calling out more, causing four-hour security lines in tons of mist, flights. Federal employees and contractors are hurting financially too. A group of House lawmakers from both sides is pushing a deal to reopen the department with new agent guidelines, but no one sure it'll fly. Senate Democrats have shot down past bills, and this shutdown might beat last year's 43-day mark.

1:03Lawmakers face a tight deadline before their two-week break at the end of March, as frustration builds nationwide over these basic services grinding to a halt.
