TSA agents will start seeing paychecks drop in their bank accounts on Monday, a much-needed boost for stressed-out airport workers who have been caught up in a bitter political fight for more than 40 days.
President Trump signed an order on Friday, using emergency powers to order the workers paid despite the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown. While Congress has failed to fund the rest of the department, TSA workers will get some relief, though other DHS workers are still unpaid.
“Today, at the direction of President Trump and the Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, TSA has immediately begun the process of paying its workforce. TSA officers should begin seeing paychecks as early as Monday, March 30,” a DHS spokesperson told The Post.
“TSA is grateful to the President and Secretary for their leadership to put money back into the pockets of TSA employees who worked without pay during the ongoing Democrat DHS shutdown.”
Trump signed the order after legislation to fund DHS stalled on Capitol Hill, and airport security wait times ballooned to hours at some locations due to TSA staffing shortages.
“I have determined that these circumstances constitute an emergency situation compromising the Nation’s security,” the president wrote in the official notice of the order.
TSA workers are in their second month without pay after a partial shutdown of DHS funds. The Senate – in the early hours of Thursday morning – passed a measure to fund the department but the House rejected that on Friday, prolonging a six-week shutdown.

So the Senate bill wont pass thank God and the TSA will still end up being paid thank goodness, so Chucky ends up with NOTHING
And Thune should be taken out behind the woodshed and horse whipped. I always thought this guy was a slippery snake.
When the Air Traffic Controllers went on strike, Saint Ronaldus Maximus fired them all and substituted Air Force personnel until new Air Traffic Controllers could be hired and trained.
Since this is such an emergency, in addition to ICE, I’ve wondered why he can’t call up the National Guard and have them staff airport security.
Chucky the cranky little old man is worried he’s going to be unemployed in November when A Taco Shack waitress steals his yob, mahn.
Dems have crossed the line from obstructionists to just plain evil.
Why didn’t he do this in the beginning? It’s what the rats do when they’re acting like they’re fixing the problem. In this case the democrats were the cause and Trump will get credit. You gotta let the people suffer a bit before they cam appreciate their savior.
Yup!
Will the Dems sue Trump because he is spending money without it being properly appropriated? I’m sure they could get the “right” judge who overturns everything Trump does.
Several DC district court judges would jump at the chance to issue and order preventing it.
They need to take the money from King Hakeem’s Clown Posse’s payroll department. Let Hakeem’s House boys and girls pay the hardworkers at TSA for a while.
You can’t tell the emperor he has no clothes. You gotta wait for him to feel a breeze.
I would expect one of our lovely Biden judges to stop this before a single worker gets a paycheck.
:o) Excellent.
AI isn’t finding any lawsuits filed today to stop Trump from paying TSA. However, the filing deadline for federal courts is Midnight.
Doesn’t this weaken the case that Congress (especially the Dems) prevented TSA agents from getting paid?
LOL
Thune has always been a snake. He’s been McConnell in waiting for years.
ARE THEY GETTING PAID FOR THE ENTIRE TIME? OR JUST A NORMAL PAYCHECK?
You forgot the hot tar & feathers, after the whipping...
