| Travelers will not be able to use TSA PreCheck as partial government shutdown continues to cause chaos |
| 2026-02-22 |
| In a statement to The Washington Post, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said the agency is 'making tough but necessary workforce and resource decisions' while prioritizing the 'general traveling population' at airports and ports of entry. 'This is the third time that Democrat politicians have shut down this department during the 119th Congress,' Noem said in a statement. 'Shutdowns have serious real-world consequences, not just for the men and women of DHS and their families who go without a paycheck, but it endangers national security.' Starting Sunday, DHS is also suspending police escorts for members of Congress traveling to airports. |
