"TSA agents haven't been paid for six weeks and are calling out sick in record numbers - some airports have more than a third of staff MIA, and more than 500 TSA agents have quit altogether."
"President Trump tells me Senate bill that didn't fund ICE, CBP 'not appropriate.' Just got off the phone with POTUS: President Trump says of Senate bill that didn't fund ICE or CBP: 'Well, it wasn't good. It wasn't appropriate.'"

American airports are experiencing significant disruptions as TSA agents have not been paid for six weeks, resulting in high absenteeism and over 500 resignations. Some airports report that more than a third of TSA staff are missing, causing travelers to wait in hours-long security lines. President Trump responded by signing an executive order to pay TSA agents using funds not explicitly appropriated for that purpose, criticizing congressional Democrats for prioritizing illegal immigration over American citizens.
