Due to political gridlock over immigration enforcement issues, the Department of Homeland Security entered a partial shutdown on the 14th as temporary appropriations expired. Some "non-essential" staff are expected to be placed on furlough. The impact of this department shutdown is expected to be limited initially, but will gradually expand over time. More than 90% of DHS employees are considered critical personnel and will continue working during the shutdown. This means that during the department shutdown, immigration raids, citizenship approvals, airport security screening, cybersecurity operations, and Coast Guard operations will continue as normal.
