GOP points to Iran conflict to pressure Democrats to end DHS shutdown

Republicans are leveraging the U.S. attack on Iran to pressure Democrats to fund the Department of Homeland Security, arguing that a DHS funding lapse undermines national security amid ongoing tensions in the region.

Democrats have pressed for the White House to make significant concessions or policy changes as a condition for DHS funding, tying approval to broader administration priorities and border security measures.

The fight over DHS funding comes as lawmakers grapple with defense and foreign policy flashes, with Republicans arguing the crisis underscores the need for swift funding and operation continuity for security agencies.
