Le programme Global Entry redémarre en pleine fermeture gouvernementale américaine de 2026

Le Département de la Sécurité intérieure des États-Unis a rétabli le programme Global Entry, suspendu fin février en raison de la fermeture partielle du gouvernement en cours qui a débuté le 14 février. Ce redémarrage, annoncé un peu plus de deux semaines plus tard, allège les retards douaniers pour les voyageurs internationaux, y compris ceux se rendant au Walt Disney World Resort, à l'approche de la saison printanière chargée.

À la suite des mesures initiales de fermeture — incluant une annonce initiale de suspension pour Global Entry et TSA PreCheck, PreCheck ayant été par la suite confirmé opérationnel —, la U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) avait réaffecté des agents pour gérer les voyageurs arrivants, provoquant de longues files d'attente dans les aéroports américains.  Global Entry permet aux passagers préapprouvés et à faible risque d'utiliser des bornes automatiques, contournant les douanes traditionnelles et réduisant les temps d'attente — un atout clé pour les visiteurs de Disney World rentrant de voyages internationaux. Les voyageurs ont signalé de graves retards pendant la suspension.  L'annonce de mercredi restaure les bornes accélérées, allégeant la pression sur les aéroports alors que les voyages printaniers s'intensifient, particulièrement dans les hubs floridiens. Bien que la fermeture plus large perdure, cette mise à jour garantit une réentrée plus fluide pour les visiteurs internationaux.  Les réactions sur les réseaux sociaux sur X (anciennement Twitter) et Reddit expriment un soulagement, soulignant le rôle du programme dans les vacances familiales impliquant vols, hôtels et réservations de parcs.

A partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security has stretched into its 40th day, causing severe staffing shortages at TSA checkpoints and long lines for travelers nationwide. Negotiations between Republicans and Democrats remain deadlocked over Immigration and Customs Enforcement reforms and a separate elections bill demanded by President Trump. Bipartisan lawmakers proposed funding most DHS agencies except ICE, conditioning its support on operational changes.

The Transportation Security Administration announced that its PreCheck program will continue operating despite an initial announcement suspending it amid a partial U.S. government shutdown. The shutdown, which began on February 14, 2026, stems from disputes over Department of Homeland Security funding and immigration policies. While Global Entry's status remains unclear, the decision aims to manage staffing constraints without fully halting expedited services.

The US Department of Homeland Security has deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to several major airports as of March 23, 2026, amid a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) staffing crisis caused by a partial government shutdown. ICE personnel are providing support at hubs like Atlanta (ATL), New York (JFK), and Newark (EWR), but not at Orlando International Airport (MCO). Travelers to Disney parks face extended wait times at understaffed checkpoints.

Five months after the Trump administration paused immigration processing from high-risk countries following a deadly D.C. shooting, the policy—now covering 39 nations—has stranded thousands already in the U.S. in legal limbo, facing job losses, stalled careers, and deportation fears. Personal stories highlight hardship, while lawsuits yield court orders for relief.

The Senate passed a bipartisan bill early Friday to fund most Department of Homeland Security operations except ICE and Border Patrol, but House Republicans signaled they will reject it. President Donald Trump signed an executive order the same day to pay TSA agents affected by the ongoing partial shutdown. The move came as airport security lines lengthened due to unpaid workers calling out or quitting.

As the DHS partial shutdown drags on, Senator Mike Lee called on President Trump to use constitutional powers to force the Senate back from recess, following the House's passage of a continuing resolution and stalled talks on a prior Senate funding compromise. Airport disruptions continue despite Trump's executive order redirecting funds to TSA.

House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced a deal on Wednesday to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security through September, while securing three years of funding for ICE and Border Patrol separately via budget reconciliation. The move, backed by President Trump, aims to bypass Democratic votes and end the record 47-day shutdown. Congress could act as early as Thursday despite being on recess.
