Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
Congress preparing votes on DHS funding to end TSA operational disruptions from partial government shutdown.
How This Affects You
If shutdown continues, airport security delays could worsen, affecting travel plans and potentially stranding Americans during a shutdown period.
AI Summary
Congress is preparing votes on Department of Homeland Security funding as a partial government shutdown continues to disrupt TSA operations and create delays at U.S. airports. The Senate and House are exploring potential off-ramps from the shutdown that would specifically address the backlog at security checkpoints. The votes would test whether lawmakers can find common ground on a DHS-only funding measure before travel disruptions worsen. A shutdown that leaves the TSA partially unfunded can create significant operational constraints, as the agency relies on appropriated funds to maintain full staffing and operations.

Senate and House are exploring off-ramps from the shutdown, preparing votes on a DHS-only funding measure to address TSA staffing and operations.
