Wait times aren't expected to improve until government funding is restored and TSA officers receive paychecks.

Trump announced ICE agents will begin deploying to major airports starting Monday to help at TSA checkpoints.

We put ICE in charge, they are helping (Transportation Security Administration) agents,” Trump said at a Memphis, Tennessee, event. It isn’t clear what the officers’ roles will be. Trump also said he would consider deploying the National Guard if needed.

President Donald Trump said he will not agree to restore TSA funding unless Democrats support his proposed SAVE America Act, setting up a potential standoff over transportation security funding.

President Donald Trump directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement over the weekend to help TSA officers, who have been working without pay since the Department of Homeland Security’s annual funding lapsed last month.

On Monday morning, a handful of federal officers were seen near busy lines at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

President Donald Trump told reporters Monday morning that he may deploy National Guard members to airports across the country to assist Transportation Security Administration employees affected by the partial government shutdown.

Musk said he would step in to pay TSA employees as the DHS funding impasse drags on and traveler frustration at airports grows.
