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.
A partial shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security that began on February 14 has pushed some workers, including many Transportation Security Administration screeners, toward missed or partial pay as the White House and Senate Democrats remain deadlocked over proposed limits on federal immigration-enforcement tactics.

A government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security has led to hundreds of TSA workers quitting and longer airport lines, amid stalled negotiations in the Senate. Senator John Fetterman, the sole Democrat supporting current funding, criticized the impasse for punishing frontline workers without affecting immigration enforcement. A test vote to fund the department failed 51-46 on Thursday.
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.

Following President Trump's threats to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, hundreds were sent to 14 major U.S. airports on March 23, 2026, to help short-staffed Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers amid a partial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown now in its second month. Travelers faced extreme delays, including up to nine-hour lines at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, prompting four-hour early arrival advisories.
Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, said Democrats could be “absolutely” willing to risk another Department of Homeland Security funding lapse at the end of September if Republicans do not accept changes to immigration enforcement, including limits on mask-wearing and a judicial-warrant requirement for certain arrests.

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.
