Republicans have proposed a plan to end the longest partial government shutdown in U.S. history by funding most of the Department of Homeland Security and separating budgets for ICE and CBP. Democratic leaders claim Republicans have compromised, while the shutdown has caused significant disruptions, particularly at airports.

Congressional Republicans say they have reached a deal to end the partial US government shutdown - the longest in history - as early as this week.

The plan would fund most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through one spending package, and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through a separate budget.

After infighting in recent days, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune jointly confirmed the deal. Top Democrat Chuck Schumer said Republicans had “caved”.

The impasse has spawned chaos at US airports due to a shortage of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers at security checkpoints.
