Trump said he will sign an executive order to pay TSA workers, citing an “emergency situation” in bypassing Congress. This as Democrats again reject government-funding offer from Republicans—for the seventh time (CBS).
President Trump announced on social media that he will sign an executive order instructing newly sworn-in DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin to pay TSA workers immediately, calling the ongoing DHS shutdown an “Emergency Situation.”
Chicago Tribune: President Donald Trump said Thursday he would sign an emergency order instructing the Homeland Security secretary to immediately pay Transportation Security Administration agents as Congress struggles to reach a deal to end the budget impasse that has jammed airports and left workers without paychecks. Trump announced his decision in a social media post saying he wanted to quickly stop the “Chaos at the Airports.” “It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it!” the president posted. With pressure mounting, the White House had floated the extraordinary move of invoking a national emergency to pay TSA workers while senators reviewed a “last and final” offer to end the funding impasse that has jammed airports and disrupted travel (Chicago Tribune).

WATCH; DHS tells @FoxNews that an ICE agent saved the life of a 1-year-old boy who had gone unresponsive & wasn’t breathing while waiting in a TSA line at JFK airport yesterday.
