In response to the continued partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), President Trump has announced plans to sign an executive order that will ensure all DHS employees, including TSA agents, receive their paychecks. This decision comes after Congress failed to reach an agreement on funding, resulting in long wait times at airports and significant disruption for both workers and travelers. Reports indicate that TSA lines are improving at major airports like Atlanta and Miami as employees begin to receive back pay. However, some issues persist, with elevated absence levels among TSA officers at certain locations and uncertainty about future paychecks. Despite the executive order, the shutdown is expected to extend as negotiations in Congress continue.
