US EditionTrump says he’ll sign order to pay all DHS employees as shutdown continues
The order would cover thousands of unpaid DHS workers and follows a similar move that restored pay for TSA agents after airport delays mounted, officials said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced he will soon sign an executive order to pay Department of Homeland Security employees who have gone without paychecks during the 48-day partial government shutdown.
- Speaker Mike Johnson and Thune announced Wednesday they would return to the Senate-passed measure, which funds most of the Department of Homeland Security but excludes Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol.
- The intervention applies to non-law enforcement staff, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Coast Guard. Trump said these families "have suffered far too long" and "help is on the way."
- House Republicans may still oppose the strategy, with Rep. Scott Perry warning that excluding certain agencies is "agreeing to defund Law Enforcement," creating potential hurdles for the conference.
- President Trump aims to have party-line spending legislation on his desk by June 1 to fund ICE and Border Patrol, while Thune stressed the need to "move with haste" to secure passage.
