The Senate unanimously passed a bill to fund TSA and most Homeland Security agencies, but Speaker Mike Johnson rejected it and said the House would consider an alternative. The impasse has delayed paychecks for TSA workers and contributed to airport staffing shortages and long lines.
The Senate passed funding for TSA and most Homeland Security agencies early Friday, leaving out Immigration and Customs Enforcement funding and Border Patrol funding. Speaker Mike Johnson called the measure a “joke” and said the House would pursue a different approach, leaving the bill’s path uncertain. Conservative Republicans, including Rep. Andy Harris, also opposed the deal and called for full department funding. Democrats have sought restrictions on federal immigration enforcement, while the Senate deal included no new limits.
The article reports that TSA employees faced another missed paycheck and that staffing shortages led to significant airport delays. It says President Donald Trump had said he would sign an order to pay TSA officers, but the article’s opening says it had not yet been signed.
