Record-high passenger wait times at airports, but no deal yet on the 40th day of the shutdown

TSA faces over 40% staff callouts and has lost 480 officers during the 40-day DHS shutdown, causing wait times exceeding 4.5 hours at major US airports, officials said.

  • Air travelers are experiencing record-high wait times at airports due to the ongoing partial government shutdown, according to the Transportation Security Administration's acting head.
  • Lawmakers are still at an impasse over funding the Department of Homeland Security and addressing immigration enforcement policies on the 40th day of the shutdown.
  • The latest proposal would fund most of DHS except the enforcement and removal operations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement , but Democrats are demanding changes to the agency's immigration policies.
