Breaking News: TSA Pay Resumption Timeline Unveiled After Trump’s Executive Order

WASHINGTON — Relief may be on the horizon for TSA airport screeners, as President Trump has signed an executive order potentially allowing payments as early as Monday, according to border czar Tom Homan.

These workers, who typically earn around $49,000 annually, have faced financial strain for 43 days due to a Democrat-led partial government shutdown that halted their full paychecks.

“There’s a strategy in place to ensure TSA personnel get compensated, possibly by tomorrow or Tuesday,” Homan shared on CNN’s “State of the Union” this Sunday.

The idea was that Senate Republicans could use the reconciliation process, which bypasses the 60-vote filibuster, to fund ICE and CBP without Democratic support.

But House Republicans rejected that idea, arguing there’s too much uncertainty about reconciliation and that many disagreed with some of the text in the Senate bill.

Instead, they’ve pushed for a 60-day stopgap measure to fund all of DHS while talks with Democrats over their demands for reforms to ICE play out.

Ultimately, the Senate had adjourned for a two-week recess, leaving DHS funding in limbo.
