March 28, 2026 • Google News World
Congress has introduced bills aimed at paying FAA and TSA workers during government shutdowns, but the legislation remains stalled. The bills were proposed in an effort to address the financial impact on federal employees who are furloughed or forced to work without pay.
In a separate development, President Trump signed an executive order instructing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to immediately pay TSA agents. This move was seen as an attempt to mitigate the effects of the shutdown on airport security personnel.
The impact of the shutdown on airport security lines is expected to be significant. According to reports, the shutdown has already led to increased wait times and reduced staffing levels at airports. The exact timeline for when these issues will be resolved remains unclear.
In a related development, the Federal News Network reported that President Trump signed an order to pay TSA employees amid the ongoing standoff over government funding. This move was seen as a response to growing concerns about the impact of the shutdown on federal workers.
The status of the bills aimed at paying FAA and TSA workers during shutdowns remains uncertain, with no clear indication of when or if they will be passed into law.
