US EditionTrump says he'll order DHS to start paying TSA officers as shutdown drags on
President Trump directs Homeland Security to pay TSA agents amid a 42-day funding lapse causing over 11% staff absences and nearly 500 officers quitting, worsening airport delays.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced he will sign an emergency order instructing the Department of Homeland Security to immediately pay TSA agents, aiming to stop 'Chaos at the Airports' amid the ongoing partial government shutdown.
- The 41st-day partial DHS shutdown stems from Democrats withholding funding support while demanding changes to immigration enforcement operations and accountability measures for federal agents involved in controversial incidents.
- Acting TSA administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill warned of potential airport closures, reporting over 500 officers have quit, callout rates exceed 40% at multiple airports, and assaults on staff surged over 500% during the funding lapse.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune said lawmakers reviewed a 'last and final' offer to resolve the impasse, though negotiations stalled as the White House indicated the emergency order may face legal challenges while bypassing Congress.
- With spring break travel surging, the Department of Transportation announced plans to reduce flights by 10% at 40 major airports, raising concerns the funding standoff could trigger broader travel disruptions and security vulnerabilities.
