The Department of Homeland Security funding lapse nears five weeks as the Senate prepares another test vote—despite travel-system strain and TSA pay concerns—likely stalling any resolution. Airports are soliciting donations to aid unpaid TSA workers, while DHS reactivates the Global Entry program and a confirmation hearing for DHS secretary nominee Markwayne Mullin is scheduled amid partisan fights over ICE reforms and border policy, keeping the travel season uncertain for millions of travelers.

Noem warns of renewed TSA PreCheck pause amid DHS shutdown

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warned that, without funding for DHS during the partial government shutdown, TSA PreCheck could be paused again and security lanes prioritized for the busiest travelers, while Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry remains paused; she said the department would not reverse the decision but would set staffing priorities, noting PreCheck and Global Entry were not paused during last year’s 43‑day shutdown.

Global Entry halted as partial shutdown lingers; PreCheck remains operational

The Department of Homeland Security will suspend the Global Entry program for the duration of the partial government shutdown, while TSA PreCheck remains open after earlier plans to shut it down were dropped. DHS will adjust operations on a case-by-case basis due to staffing limits. The move comes as a major East Coast winter storm causes flight disruptions, with reports of longer lines at some airports and travel industry criticism of the shutdown’s impact on travelers.

Partial Shutdown Pauses TSA PreCheck and Global Entry, Airports Jaw-Tighten Lanes

A partial federal shutdown prompted DHS to suspend TSA PreCheck and Global Entry, with TSA saying operations will be evaluated case-by-case as staffing allows. Some airports diverted PreCheck lanes while others reported continued operation, creating travel confusion. Travelers with active memberships can still fly using standard security lines, and residents outside the PreCheck/Global Entry lanes must wait until funding is secured for a full reopening of the programs.

CBP and Costa Rica on the Verge of Full Global Entry Partnership

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has signed a Joint Statement of Cooperation with Costa Rica to begin negotiations for including the country in the Global Entry program, which expedites entry procedures into U.S. ports of entry. Once finalized, Costa Rican citizens approved for Global Entry will be able to use the program's portals at 85 airports in the U.S. and other countries, enhancing security and expediting their arrival process. CBP has already welcomed 16 Global Entry countries, and the program currently has over 12 million members.
