“Ahead of the FIFA World Cup and summer travel, this loss has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased TSA’s ability to meet passenger demand and left critical gaps in staffing, as each new recruit requires 4-6 MONTHS of training,” DHS said in a post on X on Monday evening.
The lapse in funding previously left many DHS employees—including TSA agents—working without pay for weeks. Since TSA agents are deemed essential workers, they are expected to continue working during a lapse in appropriations, even if they’re not being paid. But many TSA officers called out of work last month so they could pick up additional jobs to pay their bills and hundreds more left their jobs at the agency entirely, leaving airports around the U.S. understaffed.
Other agencies within DHS have also been impacted by the lapse in funding, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the Coast Guard.
Beyond the TSA, the President later ordered DHS to pay “each and every employee of DHS with the compensation and benefits that would have accrued to them if not for the Democrat-led DHS shutdown.”
“My payroll through DHS is just over $1.6 billion every two weeks, so the money is going extremely fast and once that happens, there is no emergency funds after that,” Mullin told Fox and Friends last week. “I’ve got one payroll left and there is no more emergency funds, so the President can’t do another executive order because there’s no more money there.”
At the core of the funding dispute is Democrats’ demand for new guardrails on federal immigration agents. In the aftermath of federal officers fatally shooting two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in January, Democratic lawmakers refused to pass a bill to fund DHS that didn’t include such guardrails. But Republicans have claimed that Democrats’ demands would hinder DHS from carrying out the Trump Administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown.
