Trump has ordered TSA workers be paid, regardless of what Congress does. Here’s what we know
With Congress’ debate over Department of Homeland Security funding now likely to extend for at least several more days, President Donald Trump on Friday issued a promised executive action that Transportation Security Administration employees be paid immediately.
“I hereby direct the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, to use funds that have a reasonable and logical nexus to TSA operations to provide TSA employees with the compensation and benefits that would have accrued to them if not for the Democrat-led DHS shutdown, consistent with applicable law,†the president wrote.
How that would work, exactly, is largely unclear. But TSA workers could start seeing their paychecks as soon as Monday, according to DHS.

Travelers frustrated by long security lines may not see immediate relief, even as Transportation Security Administration officers begin receiving pay again on Monday after working without wages for more than a month during the partial government shutdown.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing federal officials to ensure that TSA workers are paid despite the shutdown, breaking a more than 40-day stretch in which officers went without salaries.
But the move is unlikely to bring instant relief at airport checkpoints, according to former TSA Administrator John S. Pistole.
The more pertinent question, he said, is how many workers actually return to their posts now that paychecks are set to resume Monday.

Trump signs order to pay TSA employees amid shutdown standoff
The formal order to pay TSA staff came out Friday, as a Senate-passed DHS funding deal appeared poised to fall apart in the House amid GOP opposition.
President Donald Trump on Friday directed the Department of Homeland Security to re-direct funding to pay Transportation Security Administration employees, even as other DHS staff continue to go without pay during the partial government shutdown.
Trump directed DHS to “use funds that have a reasonable and logical nexus to TSA operations to provide TSA employees with the compensation and benefits that would have accrued to them if not for the Democrat-led DHS shutdown.”
