"This agreement funds TSA, the Coast Guard, FEMA, CISA, strengthens security at the border and ports of entry, and keeps America safe."
"Democrats held firm in our opposition that Donald Trump's rogue and deadly militia should not get more funding without serious reforms."
"Political infighting led to massive airport waits and unpaid TSA workers, as Congress and the White House fought over policies."
"The aggressive approach of ICE and CBP deployments combined with the perceived immunity enjoyed by those agents has led to numerous violent conflicts between agents and citizens."
The US Senate approved legislation to release funds for TSA workers who went unpaid for five weeks due to political disputes over immigration funding. The bill allocates resources to Homeland Security, including TSA and the Coast Guard, while withholding funds for ICE and parts of CBP. Democratic leaders emphasized the need for reforms before additional funding for Trump's immigration enforcement. The political standoff resulted in significant airport delays and prompted citizens to support unpaid TSA agents with food donations.
