DHS Suspends TSA PreCheck and Global Entry Programs Amid Ongoing Government Shutdown

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the suspension of its TSA PreCheck and Global Entry programs due to a partial government shutdown caused by funding disputes. As negotiations stall between the White House and Democratic lawmakers, concerns grow over the impact of the shutdown on key security services at airports and immigration enforcement. DHS Secretary Noem criticized Democrats for the lack of funding, stating that the department is unable to assist those in need. Tensions in Congress continue as both sides dig in, with no clear path forward to resolve the funding standoff.
