The 42-day funding lapse has seen them go without pay, leading many to call out of work and causing long lines at airports.
Main Idea: The Senate passed a plan to fund the Department of Homeland Security and help end the shutdown, but it left out Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol funding for now.
Key Points:
The shutdown has delayed TSA pay and caused long airport lines, which can disrupt travel for workers, families, and businesses.
Funding DHS except ICE and Border Patrol could reopen airports and let security staff work and get paid again.
