"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited Logan International Airport to deliver $10,000 bonuses Saturday night after, her agency said, more than 270 TSA workers at Logan Airport had perfect attendance during the 43-day government shutdown. The agency, which also manages federal immigration enforcement, said the agents at Logan "went above and beyond" during the longest-ever shutdown, which left some federal employees, like TSA agents, without their paycheck."
""Americans can be proud of TSA workers across the country who continued to serve with excellence throughout the shutdown - like these patriots at Logan Airport in Massachusetts - who went to great lengths to protect our country, care for their fellow Americans, and keep our nation moving," Noem said. "President Trump and I are giving a $10,000 bonus to exemplary TSA officers across our nation who went above and beyond their performance," Noem said. "Thank you to the men and women of TSA!""
"Noem did not specify if all 270 agents with perfect attendance during the shutdown will receive the bonus, and DHS did not answer clarifying questions. Nationwide, "select" TSA officers will receive the bonus "in appreciation for their dedication and commitment to keeping America safe even as Democrats fought for healthcare for illegal aliens," DHS's statement said. DHS said it is using carryover funds from last fiscal year, which ended in September."
