Trump Orders DHS to Fund TSA Pay Amid Shutdown Impasse
TL;DR Summary
President Trump directed the Department of Homeland Security to redirect funds to pay TSA workers during the partial government shutdown, with TSA payroll expected to resume by March 30; funding is reportedly drawn from last summer's One Big Beautiful Bill Act. While TSA gets paid, other DHS staff remain unpaid as House Republicans oppose a broader DHS funding deal, leaving about 60,000 TSA employees affected and raising morale concerns.
