Pressure mounts to end DHS shutdown

(CNN, KYMA) - Republican lawmakers are facing a tough week in Washington as the 10-week-old Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown is the longest in history.

Lawmakers are under increased pressure to pass funding as the agency has started sounding alarm bells it's almost out of money.

It had been paying workers through a rainy day fund that aides say is almost depleted.

If funding does lapse again, more federal workers, including Secret Service agents, may miss paychecks.
