""We are really concerned about our security posture and what the long term impacts of this shutdown is going to have on the workforce and our ability to carry out this mission," Ha Nguyen McNeil, the TSA acting administrator, said during a House hearing on Wednesday."
""I think any deal they make, I'm pretty much not happy with it," Trump said Tuesday, expressing dissatisfaction with proposals that do not include the SAVE America Act."
A new proposal is emerging to fund critical parts of the Department of Homeland Security as TSA officer shortages lead to long airport lines and missed flights. Despite optimism from Senate Republicans, President Trump and Senate Democrats have not yet supported the framework. Funding for DHS lapsed in mid-February due to disputes over immigration enforcement. Most Democrats refuse to approve additional funding for ICE without significant reforms. The DHS shutdown has lasted 40 days, affecting federal employees responsible for security and disaster response.
