A partial government shutdown began February 16, 2026 after funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) expired. While not a full federal shutdown, several key agencies under DHS are affected.
In this video, we break down:
• What a partial shutdown means
• Whether TSA screeners are working
• Impact on FEMA disaster response
• Effects on the Coast Guard and cybersecurity operations
• What remains operational at ICE and CBP
• How long the funding lapse could last
Many DHS employees are considered essential and must work without pay until Congress passes a continuing resolution.
Is this just political gridlock — or a growing national security concern?
