Long security wait times at major airports across the U.S. are increasing due to increased absences of Transportation Security Administration officers due to the partial government shutdown. This comes as tens of thousands of travelers face a second missed full paycheck due to this. The Trump administration plans to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to airports to help ease security lines amid the Department of Homeland Security shutdown. The more than 50,000 TSA officers have been working without regular paychecks since mid-February due to these delays. The travel industry has criticized lawmakers for failing to pay essential government workers during these shutdowns. The shutdown comes as Democrats demand changes to federal immigration enforcement in exchange for releasing DHS funding.
