| 2026-03-27 |
| [FoxNews] President's announcement comes amid a 41-day partial government shutdown affecting funding for DHS President Donald Trump said he will sign an executive order to address airport disruptions, announcing the move in a Truth Social post Thursday that framed the situation as a national emergency. "Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis, I am using my authorities under the Law to protect our Great Country," Trump wrote. "Therefore, I am going to sign an Order … to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation." The White House said funding from legislation backed by Trump will be used to ensure TSA officers are paid during the disruption. "Not unlike actions taken during the first Democrat-shutdown (i.e., paying the troops), President Trump has determined that congressional Democrats have created an emergency situation that cannot be allowed to continue," White House Office of Management and Budget Communications Director Rachel Cauley said in a statement to Fox News Digital. |
