Trump administration blaming Democrats for shutdown in airport videos
The Department of Homeland Security blames Senate Democrats for the shutdown affecting TSA workers’ pay and causing thousands of flight delays, with 19,000 delays reported since Monday.
- On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed it began broadcasting a government-produced video at U.S. airports as part of a Trump administration communications campaign.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem frames a video blaming Democrats for the shutdown, which began after Senate Democrats blocked funding, leaving many TSA workers unpaid.
- Data show significant staffing demands, with 13,000 air traffic controllers and about 50,000 Transportation Security Administration officers working unpaid, plus 19,000 flight delays since Monday including 3,300 on Thursday.
- Airport operations continue but passengers may see longer lines because TSA officers face pay impacts, with a partial paycheck scheduled this week and a first zero paycheck if the shutdown persists.
- Multiple agencies have posted partisan notices while the Office of Management and Budget reviewed a plan to revoke backpay, echoing the 2019 government shutdown's flight delays and absences.
