Paying Our Great Transportation Security Administration Officers and Employees Presidential Memoranda March 27, 2026 MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY
THE DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
SUBJECT: Paying Our Great Transportation Security Administration Officers and Employees
As the Democrat-caused shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues well into its sixth week, America’s air travel system has reached its breaking point. This is an unprecedented emergency situation. Currently, more than 60,000 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees, including approximately 50,000 transportation security officers who perform security functions at domestic airports, are not being paid due to congressional Democrats’ reckless decision to prioritize criminal illegal aliens over American citizens and shut down DHS until their demand to prohibit enforcement of Federal immigration law is met.
Since the shutdown began, nearly 500 transportation security officers have left their positions, and thousands more have begun to call out sick at record rates due to lack of pay. As a result, security wait times at some airports have reached untenable lengths of three or more hours. These increased wait times, combined with declining morale among TSA staff, unacceptably heighten the risk of security vulnerabilities within our domestic travel system and has negatively impacted countless Americans.
If Democrats in the Congress will not act to honor the service of our TSA officers, who are now performing their critical public safety responsibilities without knowing whether they will be able to buy food for their families or pay their rent, then my Administration will take action. As President of the United States, I have determined that these circumstances constitute an emergency situation compromising the Nation’s security.
Accordingly, I hereby direct the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, to use funds that have a reasonable and logical nexus to TSA operations to provide TSA employees with the compensation and benefits that would have accrued to them if not for the Democrat-led DHS shutdown, consistent with applicable law, including 31 U.S.C. 1301(a).
Once regular funding for TSA has been restored, every effort should be made, as authorized by law, to adjust applicable funding accounts within DHS to ensure the continuation of DHS operations and activities consistent with planned expenditures prior to the lapse.
Nothing in this memorandum shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals. This memorandum shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations. This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
DONALD J. TRUMP

Make note of those words.
Here is why those words are important.
“”””https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/articles/article-ii/clauses/348
Interpretation: Article II, Section 3 | Constitution Center
Article II, Section 3 grants and constrains presidential power. This Section invests the President with the discretion to convene Congress on “extraordinary occasions,” a power that has been used to summon the chambers to consider nominations, war declarations, and emergency legislation.””””
“”””This is an unprecedented emergency situation.””””
The next step in this chess match is for Trump to immediately convene Congress if someone tries to block him from paying TSA.
Fox News is once again equivocating and has on for coverage of the breaking House news that the House Pubs consider the Senate bill sent over to them to be a joke, are just a bunch of RINO’s. Even John Roberts can’t seem to see the forest through the trees.
And Chad Pergrum, a snake-in-the-grass Dem-leaning spokesperson Fox has to cover Congress, constantly commits the sin of omission by trying to make it sound like the House Pubs are at fault for the impasse when it once again is the Dems.
What the snake Pergrum omits is that ICE and Border control administrative staff, that keeps those departments running would effectively make it impossible for these Depts to function, staff will not be paid at all. It will shut them down.
I hate all the RINO’s (or secret Dems) that infest Fox, and with the exception of a few of their hosts, I now go to NewsMax, in particular for the evening lineup (Ed Henry/Carl Higbie/the 2 Robs, Schmidt and Finnerty) and other good hosts. No wonder Prez Trump prefers NewsMax.
And all Fox News Polls are manipulated to make Trump look bad at every turn. Fox News as to much of their programming, disgusts me. Their globalist owner, Rupert Murdoch dislikes Trump, Paul Ryan, a Trump hater, is on their Board of Directors, and they are chock full of BushBots, no friends of Trump, such as Brit Hume, a good friend of Jeb Bush, Bret Baier whose mentor was Brit Hume, BushBot Karl Rove, who uses anti-Trump Pacs to work against Trump whom he hates (another Bush family shill), Dana Perino who worked for the Bush WH, and others.
Give me NewsMax, with few exceptions, over Fox. Fox lies, commits constantly the sin of omission, has hosts that mouth off without knowing the full information (such as ICE/Border control administrative staff not being funded at all (zero funding in Senate version of bill done in the middle of the night and foisted on the House).
And even when this was pointed out to them by only a couple of outside commentators, they are still spouting the House Pubs blew it by not supporting the Senate version of the bill. They make me sick. I’ll check in on Jesse Watters and Sean Hannity tonite to see if they get the truth out to Fox viewers who otherwise won’t hear what is really going on regarding the House rejecting the Senate version of the bill. I hope they do not disappoint. I don’t trust Laura Ingraham whom sees to be fully invested in being a Republican nag, constantly lecturing the Party and saying how they will lose the mid-terms if they don’t listen to her advice. We have enough enemies and/or wishy washy RINO types out there already.
Must be a different TSA than many remember.
Or maybe the “bad” TSA personnel have all been fired / quit since then. If so, they certainly needed to be gone:
“Since the shutdown began, nearly 500 transportation security officers have left their positions, and thousands more have begun to call out sick at record rates due to lack of pay.”
Fire their asses. You don’t read about the Coast Guard members pulling that shite. They are without pay as well.
It’s going to take about 15 minutes for a judge to overturn this. I hope they can eek out one payroll.
