TSA Agents To Receive Pay Amid Ongoing DHS Shutdown

The DHS shutdown has impacted TSA agents causing travel chaos across the nation.

Some TSA agents have reportedly started receiving paychecks after working without pay since the Department of Homeland Security funding lapsed.

The department’s shutdown reached 45 days Monday, passing the record 43-day shutdown last fall that affected all of the federal government.

The DHS shutdown has impacted TSA agents causing travel chaos across the nation. On Friday, Trump signed an executive order that instructed the DHS to pay TSA officers immediately.
