Trump signs executive order instructing DHS to immediately pay TSA agents | Trump administration
Donald Trump signed an executive order instructing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to immediately pay Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents who have been working without pay for over a month. The partial government shutdown, now 42 days long, has stalled negotiations on Capitol Hill after House Republicans rejected a Senate-passed deal to fund key DHS subagencies, including the TSA. Trump blamed Democrats' "reckless decision" for the situation and threatened further action if Congress does not act. The TSA has begun processing paychecks for its workforce with some agents potentially receiving them as early as March 30th.
