DHS Shutdown Day 37: Senate Fails to Break Impasse; Thune Threatens Easter Recess Cancellation

The partial DHS shutdown entered its 37th day with lawmakers 'still far apart' on a funding deal. The Senate has failed five votes to resolve the impasse. Majority Leader Thune threatened to cancel Easter recess if no agreement is reached. TSA staffing continues to deteriorate with 376 officers quitting and absences doubling since the shutdown began. Elon Musk offered to cover TSA agents' pay, though the legal mechanism for doing so remains unclear. Congressional oversight of detention facilities has been blocked during the shutdown.
