Major US airports return to normal as TSA workers get paid
TSA workers began receiving back pay after a partial DHS shutdown left them unpaid for over a month, improving airport security lines though some delays remain.
- On Friday, President Trump ordered DHS to pay Transportation Security Administration employees, declaring the funding lapse an emergency compromising the Nation's security.
- The funding lapse, which has lasted more than 40 days, stems from three separate attempts by Congress and President Trump to funnel money to DHS without resolution.
- On Friday, the House passed a Republican-crafted bill to fund DHS for eight weeks after GOP leaders rejected a previous Senate-passed measure lacking immigration enforcement funding.
- Sen. James Lankford pushed on Sunday for federal workers to be paid, telling NBC News's Kristen Welker, "we should never get to a moment we're not paying federal workers."
- Senate Democrats previously blocked legislation that withheld funding for immigration enforcement under ICE and Border Patrol, a core dispute complicating broader DHS funding negotiations.
