The Democrats have caused the CHAOS in our nation’s airports by refusing to fund DHS and pay our TSA agents.

While they continue their political games, President Trump is taking decisive action by deploying our patriotic @ICEgov officers to support airports and TSA officers being adversely impacted by this shutdown.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

This is intentional. ⬇️ Democrats are holding American travelers hostage and denying federal workers their paychecks for political leverage.

End the games. REOPEN DHS!

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

The Democrats’ political games are forcing our @TSA officers to work without pay for the THIRD time in six months — forcing many to leave the force, including 35 in New England.

This loss leaves CRITICAL gaps in staffing and significantly decreases TSA’s ability to meet passenger demand, as each new recruit requires 4-6 MONTHS of training.

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

Democrats are making the heroic men and women of TSA work without pay for the THIRD time in six months — forcing 366 agents to leave the force. 

This loss significantly decreases TSA’s ability to meet passenger demand and leaves critical gaps in staffing, as each new recruit requires 4-6 MONTHS of training.

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

Democrats continue to play political games with the livelihoods of our TSA officers and their families.  

It’s time for them to end their reckless DHS shutdown.

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

3 HOUR WAIT TIMES.

@TSA officers are not the only ones paying the price for the Democrats’ DHS shutdown. Now, the American people are facing THREE hour wait times at airports.

Democrats do not care about TSA officers going without pay, and they do not care about the millions of Americans missing flights and facing delays because of this reckless DHS shutdown.

[Rep. Sam Graves @RepSamGraves]

Heading to DC today to manage debate on the floor and got to travel on this tribute to the great state of Missouri!

Thank you to TSA and the air traffic controllers here for their hard work in keeping us all safe.

Hope to see the USA GOLD-MEDAL HOCKEY TEAMS at the State of the Union tomorrow. They did great and made us so proud! USA!🇺🇸

Courtesy escorts, such as those for Members of Congress, have been suspended to allow officers to focus on the mission of securing America's skies.

At this time, TSA PreCheck remains operational with no change for the traveling public. As staffing constraints arise, TSA will evaluate on a case by case basis and adjust operations accordingly.

[Special Envoy Kristi Noem @EnvoyNoem]

Americans can be proud of TSA workers across the country who continued to serve with excellence throughout the shutdown—like these patriots at Tampa International Airport—who went to great lengths to protect our country, care for their fellow Americans, and keep our nation moving.

We are giving a $10,000 bonus to exemplary TSA officers across our nation who went above and beyond their performance.

Thank you to the men and women of @TSA!

After nearly 4 incredible years leading strategic communications and public affairs for @TSA, today marks the end of my TSA era. It’s been an honor to serve alongside an incredibly dedicated workforce. Thanks for the memories. I’ll be cheering #TeamTSA on from the sidelines!

[TSA Strategic Comms and Public Affairs - AA @TSA_Comms_AA]

.@TSA accomplished so much in 2024. Lowest attrition rates the agency has ever seen. More innovative technology deployed to airport security checkpoints. Worked with industry to enhance cybersecurity resilience of critical transportation infrastructure. And so much more. ⬇️

In the weeks ahead, @TSA won't just be at our airports—they'll be lending their skills to helping secure the 60th Presidential Inauguration, Super Bowl LIX, and other big events. Whether in the skies or under the brightest lights, TSA’s service helps keep us all safe. #WeAreDHS

[TSA Strategic Comms and Public Affairs - AA @TSA_Comms_AA]

During a record year for air travel, @TSA detected 6,678 firearms at TSA security checkpoints last year, slightly below a record 6,737 firearms in 2024. One is too many. If you want to travel with a firearm, #PreparePackDeclare with your checked bag.

[TSA @TSA]

On today’s National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, we’d like to thank our law enforcement team. From TSA's Federal Air Marshal Service to our criminal investigations team, thank you for your commitment to our mission & for all you do to make our world a safer place.

[ARCHIVED: DHS Deputy Secretary @DHS_DepSec]

Since 1976, wherever President Carter went - the White House, Sunday School, diplomatic trips and construction sites - the @SecretService went with him. As we honor President Carter today, we also thank the scores of agents who served on his detail for their service. #WeAreDHS
