What’s closed for Presidents’ Day
Many government offices will be closed for the federal holiday on Monday, Feb. 16, 2026. Here’s a list of what else is closed.
Hours into this partial government shutdown, Capitol Hill is quiet because lawmakers left town for *** 10 day recess without *** deal to extend funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Most DHS employees are considered essential, so they’re expected to keep on working without pay until the shutdown ends. At our nation’s airports. It means that TSA will continue screening passengers, but *** possible uptick in callouts could lead to longer lines if this funding lapse drags on for *** while. Cybersecurity services could be delayed, and Coast Guard missions that are not necessary for national security will halt. FEMA has enough money to continue emergency responses, at least for the foreseeable future, but officials say that the shutdown will disrupt reimbursements to states recovering from past disasters and limit coordination with local partners. ICE and Border Patrol, on the other hand, won’t be hit as hard because Congress surged funding for those agencies last year. Democrats say they won’t approve full DHS funding unless Republicans agree to new restrictions on immigration enforcement, but major differences remain. We’ve drawn *** hard line in the sand on behalf of the American people. And we’re not going to allow the Congress to cross it. ICE needs to be dramatically reformed. Period. Full stop. ICE has done *** phenomenal job. Border patrol. We have *** shut. We have *** closed border for the first time in history. We have to protect law enforcement. Now Democrats are expected to continue negotiations with the White House in the coming days. Lawmakers could potentially be called back to Capitol Hill from their break early if *** compromise is reached. Reporting on Capitol Hill, I’m Jackie DeFusco.
