Trump Signs Executive Order Ensuring TSA Workers Get Back Pay During DHS Shutdown

President Donald Trump signed an executive order ensuring TSA workers are paid during the current Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown, directing federal officials to provide back pay for affected employees. The order aims to prevent a potential disruption in TSA operations and minimize the impact on travelers. The move is seen as a response to concerns raised by lawmakers and union representatives about the potential consequences of the shutdown on TSA workers' compensation. The executive order takes effect immediately, with payments expected to be made within the next week or two.
