While Congress has failed to fund the rest of the department, TSA workers will get some relief, though other DHS workers are still unpaid. “Today, at the direction of President Trump and the Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, TSA has immediately begun the process of paying its workforce. TSA officers should begin seeing paychecks as early as Monday, March 30,” a DHS spokesperson told The Post. “TSA is grateful to the President and Secretary for their leadership to put money back into the pockets of TSA employees who worked without pay during the ongoing Democrat DHS shutdown.”Follow The Post’s live coverage of President Trump and national politics for the latest news and analysis “I have determined that these circumstances constitute an emergency situation compromising the Nation’s security,” the president wrote in the official notice of the order.
