"The shutdown closed off funding for most of the Department of Homeland Security, leading to delays for travelers trying to navigate security. TSA workers are working without pay or calling out entirely."
"Even as Democrats tried to target ICE in their specific funding demands, workers at the agency remain paid through a tranche of funding from President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act."
"That's created a DHS pay disparity: TSA workers have been on the clock without guaranteed pay since mid-February while ICE workers receive paychecks."
The partial government shutdown has led to significant delays at airports, with TSA workers facing unpaid status while ICE agents continue to receive pay. The shutdown, which began on February 14, has affected funding for the Department of Homeland Security, resulting in long lines and chaos for travelers. Lawmakers have not resolved funding issues for DHS, despite ongoing negotiations. ICE remains funded through a separate act, creating a disparity where TSA workers are unpaid while ICE employees are compensated.
