The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been operating without government funding for five weeks, which has resulted in restricted access to detention facilities for families.
This situation highlights systemic vulnerabilities in immigration oversight, as families face increased difficulties in navigating the detention system.
The lack of funding not only affects operational capacity but also raises concerns about the overall effectiveness of immigration enforcement and support structures.
