DHS Recalls Furloughed Workers, Defying Shutdown Norms; Funding Fight Intensifies

The Department of Homeland Security has recalled thousands of furloughed workers, breaking from standard shutdown procedures. Internal emails instructed staff to report for duty, with limited funds allocated for immediate pay. This move raises legal questions, as it stretches Antideficiency Act rules on essential services. Employees face discipline if they dont report, and funds may run out quickly. The situation is further complicated by the ongoing funding fight over immigration, with Democrats aiming to cut ICE funds and Republicans pushing for separate aid. Congress holds the key to resolving this impasse.
