Les démocrates du Sénat bloquent le financement du DHS alors que le shutdown impacte les travailleurs de la TSA

Un shutdown gouvernemental affectant le Département de la Sécurité intérieure a conduit des centaines d’agents de la TSA à démissionner et à des files d’attente plus longues aux aéroports, au milieu de négociations au point mort au Sénat. Le sénateur John Fetterman, seul démocrate soutenant le financement actuel, a critiqué l’impasse qui punit les travailleurs de première ligne sans affecter l’exécution des lois sur l’immigration. Un vote test pour financer le département a échoué 51-46 jeudi.

La fermeture du Département de la Sécurité intérieure (DHS), qui supervise des agences incluant l’Administration de la sécurité des transports (TSA), la Garde côtière, l’Agence fédérale de gestion des situations d’urgence (FEMA), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) et Customs and Border Protection, entre dans sa troisième semaine sans résolution. Les négociations au Sénat sur les tactiques d’application fédérale de l’immigration sont au point mort, les démocrates exigeant des changements tels que la fin des exigences de port du masque pour les agents et l’exigence de mandats judiciaires pour de nombreuses arrestations liées à l’immigration.
