Noem warns of renewed TSA PreCheck pause amid DHS shutdown

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warned that, without funding for DHS during the partial government shutdown, TSA PreCheck could be paused again and security lanes prioritized for the busiest travelers, while Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry remains paused; she said the department would not reverse the decision but would set staffing priorities, noting PreCheck and Global Entry were not paused during last year’s 43‑day shutdown.
