Emilia Sykes’ DHS Shutdown Has Real Life Consequences

March 9, 2026

The Department of Homeland Security has now been shut down for 24 days thanks to Emilia Sykes’ reckless games, and the consequences are hitting Ohioans in real time.

Tens of thousands of TSA agents are working without pay while travelers are stuck in massive security lines at airports across the country.

And despite rising threats at home and abroad, Sykes doubled down last week by voting AGAINST funding DHS, proving once again that partisan theatrics matter more to her than protecting the American people.

“Out of touch Democrat Emilia Sykes shut down homeland security while TSA agents work for free and Ohioans sit in mile-long security lines. It’s pure insanity, and Sykes couldn’t care less.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
