On April 30, 2023, the US House of Representatives voted to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), effectively ending the agency's longest shutdown and preventing potential airport disruptions. This bipartisan package now awaits President Donald Trump's signature, although it excludes funding for immigration enforcement, a contentious issue central to ongoing disputes. In the Senate, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced intense questioning regarding a proposed $1.5 trillion military budget for 2027 and the administration's handling of the Iran conflict. Senators raised constitutional concerns over Hegseth's assertion that the legal limit for military action is paused during ceasefires. Additionally, Brent crude oil prices briefly surged past $126 per barrel amid fears of disrupted oil supplies due to stalled US-Iran negotiations. The House's passage of the funding package followed a budget resolution aimed at securing $70 billion for immigration enforcement, which Democrats opposed without changes to current operations after recent incidents involving federal agents. The resolution's adoption, passed by a narrow 215-211 vote, was crucial in unlocking broader funding for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and other DHS components.
