The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown is in its 36th day and has resulted in a shortage of federal employees. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which both received $75 billion in funding last year, are unable to make payroll. President Trump has proposed replacing TSA with ICE agents who are not trained to screen passengers or luggage. The situation has led to TSA officers missing their first full paycheck and over half of scheduled staff calling out on a single day, and a third of screeners were absent during spring break. If another paycheck is missed, smaller airports may close entirely. Meanwhile, billionaire Elon Musk has offered to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during the funding impasse.
