"The DHS shutdown has resulted in not only travel delays but also warnings of airport closures as TSA workers missing paychecks stopped going to work. Those workers were just recovering financially since last fall's extended government shutdown."
"Wait times still pushed beyond two hours at New York's LaGuardia Airport Monday morning. Baltimore-Washington International Airport had minimal wait-times Monday morning, but continued to advise travelers to arrive three hours before their scheduled departure."
"President Donald Trump on Friday ordered the Department of Homeland Security to pay TSA officers immediately to ease the lines plaguing airports. The move came after Trump rejected bipartisan congressional efforts to fund the TSA while negotiations continue with Democrats."
The Transportation Safety Administration is sending paychecks to workers, alleviating some chaos in U.S. airports. Wait times at major airports like Atlanta and Houston improved significantly. However, uncertainty persists regarding the normalization of long security lines and the presence of federal immigration officers. The recent DHS shutdown caused travel delays and warnings of airport closures due to TSA workers missing paychecks. President Trump ordered immediate payment to TSA officers to address the situation, while negotiations between Democrats and Republicans over TSA funding continue without a final agreement.
