'End This Quickly:' Airlines For America CEO Urges Lawmakers As TSA Workers Go Unpaid Amid Shutdown
Published on March 17, 2026.
Airlive For America CEO, Rick Sununu, has urged Congress to end the shutdown by early April with the confirmation of new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. The shutdown is due to a funding impasse over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with Democrats demanding reforms including judicial warrants, body cameras for officers, and the removal of face masks. Republicans have opposed funding all DHS agencies without restrictions, but Democrats blocked this proposal. The impasse has forced TSA employees to work without pay, disrupting airport operations across the country. The airline's CEO called the suspension notice "deeply concerning" due to short notice for travelers.
