Trump blames Democrats for DHS shutdown, sets June 1 deadline

President Donald Trump on Tuesday lambasted Democrats over the ongoing funding deadlock for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which has been shut down since February 14. He set a June 1 deadline for a final funding bill, escalating pressure on Congress to resolve the crisis. The shutdown has already led to over 1,110 TSA officer resignations, severely impacting airport security operations. Trump's remarks come amid growing concerns over national security vulnerabilities caused by the prolonged funding gap.
