Trump taps Serco executive to run TSA amid staffing crisis

President Trump plans to nominate David Cummins, a Serco executive with transportation leadership experience, to head the Transportation Security Administration. Cummins would replace acting administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill through Senate confirmation, as TSA contends with funding instability and staffing shortfalls amid surging travel and looming events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The agency has seen hundreds of officer resignations during the ongoing DHS shutdown; the last Senate-confirmed TSA administrator was David Pekoske in 2022, and McNeill has warned that budget lapses are straining operations during the longest partial government shutdown on record.

Senate Clears Procedural Path for Mullin to Lead DHS

The Senate advanced Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s nomination to lead the Department of Homeland Security in a 54–37 weekend procedural vote, with two Democrats joining Republicans; a final confirmation is expected soon. Mullin, an Oklahoma Republican, has drawn praise from many Republicans and some Democrats, despite earlier questions from Rand Paul during his hearing about his past remarks and views on violence. He would succeed Kristi Noem amid scrutiny of immigration enforcement and DHS advertising, and has framed his leadership as empowering people. The vote comes as DHS remains in a funding and immigration reform stalemate that has disrupted airports, with talk of ICE assistance to TSA if needed.
