""Our members at TSA have been showing up every day, without a paycheck, because they believe in the mission of keeping the flying public safe.""
"ICE agents are eligible for a $50,000 signing bonus, often given in $10,000 per-year increments, putting total pay at nearly double that of a TSA officer."
During the ongoing government shutdown, ICE agents have taken on TSA roles at airports, checking IDs and assisting with security scans. Over 50,000 TSA officers are currently unpaid, leading to significant staff shortages. ICE agents, who continue to receive salaries, earn considerably more than TSA officers, with starting salaries for TSA agents around $34,454 and ICE agents earning between $51,632 and $84,277. The union representing TSA workers has criticized this arrangement, arguing that ICE agents lack the necessary training for TSA duties.
