ICE stays at airports until TSA is secure, border czar says amid DHS funding stalemate

Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, said ICE will remain at U.S. airports until TSA staffing and security are back to full capacity amid a funding fight that has delayed DHS operations; Trump ordered DHS to pay TSA workers as Congress debates a short-term funding bill and recesses, with TSA resignations piling up.

DHS halts trusted-traveler programs as funding lapse hits agencies

The Department of Homeland Security is suspending TSA PreCheck and Global Entry starting Sunday due to a funding lapse that began Feb. 14. DHS says the move prioritizes the traveling public while FEMA halts non-disaster responses; most employees at TSA and Coast Guard remain unpaid, though ICE and CBP will continue paid work under last year’s funding. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem blames Democrats for the shutdown and warns of real-world consequences for national security.
