Trump Eyes Emergency Pay for TSA as DHS Funding Talks Stall

TL;DR Summary
President Trump said he would sign an emergency order to pay TSA agents who have gone without pay as Congress fights over funding the Department of Homeland Security. The move—aimed at addressing airport delays—would reallocate funds without a congressional appropriation, a plan Republicans pitched amid a broader immigration-enforcement dispute and Democratic opposition. With the House passing a DHS funding bill but the Senate stalled, lawmakers and the White House trade blame while spring travel volumes push airports to the brink.
