20 MAR 26 SITREP

• The war in Iran continued into day 21 as the United States and Israel conducted military operations targeting Iranian missile systems, drone networks, and regime infrastructure to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power.
• Iranian forces disrupted the Strait of Hormuz, through which 1/5 of the world’s oil supply passes, and carried out attacks on LNG terminals, demonstrating the ability to impact global energy infrastructure.
• The Pentagon discussed a $200 billion funding requirement for continued operations, while additional figures included $700 billion to $1.5 trillion in estimated annual government fraud referenced during funding discussions.
• Iranian regime leadership dispersed and hid in remote locations, including tents, while technologies such as Starlink enabled Iranian civilians to transmit targeting information that contributed to strikes against regime leadership.

• The Save America Act required voter identification for federal elections, including photo ID, with polling data showing 80 percent of Americans supported voter ID requirements.
• Millions of illegal immigrants resided in sanctuary cities, sanctuary states, and blue states, contributing to increased census counts and expanded congressional representation in those areas.
• Georgia election data included 8.2 million registered voters, 20 non-citizens registered to vote, and 9 non-citizens who attempted to vote, with most attempts occurring before 2012.
• Legislative opposition focused on blocking voter integrity measures, while proposals included using DHS data systems to review voter rolls and identify non-citizens registered to vote.

• DHS funding negotiations included proposals to fund the agency in segments while reducing support for ICE and CBP, despite ongoing national security threats involving Iran.
• The funding dispute resulted in operational impacts, including TSA agents working without pay while continuing security operations at U.S. airports.
• Airports including Fort Lauderdale experienced long TSA security lines, with travelers unaware that delays were linked to DHS funding disruptions rather than seasonal travel volume.
• Public awareness of the funding situation remained limited due to lack of reporting, despite direct impacts on airport operations and federal security personnel.
