Comer highlights that the Department of Homeland Security, including the Secret Service, has been unfunded for over 70 days, leaving many employees unpaid.
He urges Congress to fully restore DHS funding, noting that emergency funds and tax bill spending have only partially covered officer and TSA worker pay.
The funding lapse has raised ongoing security concerns, especially given Comer's prior involvement in oversight following the 2024 Trump rally shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania.
