President Donald Trump stated he has identified funds to pay troops within days despite the ongoing government shutdown, as reported by Fox News. Simultaneously, the Republican National Committee (RNC) claimed Democrats are "holding America hostage" with the shutdown to push through "woke" spending, according to a statement on X. These developments occurred between 10:06 PM and 11:06 PM UTC on October 11th, 2025. In a separate incident, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported that agents encountered violent agitators who used vehicles to impede and assault officers during immigration enforcement operations near the border. According to CBP, agents used their service vehicles to create an opening after a suspect vehicle blocked their path. Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, was arrested for allegedly throwing objects at a Border Patrol vehicle and assaulting a federal law enforcement officer. The CBP statement highlighted this as a dangerous trend of individuals resisting arrest and ramming vehicles into law enforcement, noting it occurred "all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown." Republican Congressman Buddy Carter announced he is introducing a resolution to honor President Trump with the Nobel Peace Prize, as shared on X. The FBI Director, Kash Patel, also posted on X that the FBI has captured four of the Top 10 Most Wanted fugitives in seven months, including Cindy Singh and an Abbey Gate bomber, stating this is "the same number the last administration got in 4 years." Reports from previous hours indicate that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) notified Congress of the White House's intent to use Department of Defense research and development funds for military pay. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had previously ruled on National Guard deployment, denying a stay for deployment in Illinois while granting a stay for federalization.

Concerns were also raised regarding the detention of a 15-year-old autistic boy in Houston, Texas, by ICE, and a poll showed incumbent Jason Miyares leading Jay Jones in the Virginia Attorney General race. The Democrats on X highlighted that Adelita for AZ had not yet been sworn in 19 days after winning her election.
