The US government has announced that the international travel program Global Entry will be restored, following a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The move is part of a broader effort to mitigate airport disruptions caused by the ongoing dispute over immigration enforcement. The suspension of Global Entry, a fast-track system that allows preapproved American citizens and lawful permanent residents returning from abroad to bypass standard passport-control lines, was criticized by Democratic lawmakers and industry groups. The US Travel Association argued that the suspension would increase costs and weaken security by diverting attention from higher-risk travelers.
