周二，参议院正在考虑结束38天政府停摆的新路径，国土安全部指责民主党人”危及航空旅行的安全、可靠性和便捷性”。
春季首个旅行周末机场的混乱在亚特兰大、休斯顿和新奥尔良等主要枢纽的TSA安检队伍中有所缓解，但代理助理部长劳伦·比斯（Lauren Bis）告诉福克斯新闻，超过3200名TSA工作人员在周一班次请病假或缺勤，另有450多名TSA官员已直接辞职。
比斯在一份声明中表示：”民主党停摆的第38天：美国旅客在全国各地机场面临数小时的等待，超过450名TSA官员辞职，数千人因无力支付汽油、儿童保育、食物或租金而请病假。”
值得注意的是，唐纳德·特朗普总统将移民和海关执法局（ICE）特工部署到受影响最严重的机场，被认为缓解了亚特兰大机场reported的最长达9小时的TSA安检延误。

福克斯新闻现场报道称，哈茨菲尔德-杰克逊亚特兰大国际机场（世界最繁忙的航空公司枢纽）周二的安检队伍明显缩短。社交媒体上的视频显示，休斯顿的ICE特工正在向仍在排长队的旅客分发水。
比斯在声明中补充道：”当民主党继续将航空旅行的安全、可靠性和便捷性置于危险之中时，特朗普总统正在采取行动，部署数百名由国会资助的ICE官员到受不利影响的机场。”

“这将有助于加强TSA的工作，确保我们的天空安全并减少航空旅行中断。”
一些批评者指出，周二安检队伍缩短是因为工作日出行量低于春季第一个周日（因春假而繁忙的著名旅行时段）。
根据与福克斯新闻分享的国土安全部数据，周日TSA官员的缺勤率达到停摆期间的最高值（全国11.6%）。

但缺勤率在全国并不均衡，休斯顿、亚特兰大、新奥尔良在国土安全部公布的十大主要机场缺勤率中名列前茅。
- HOU 40.3%（休斯顿）
- ATL 37.4%（亚特兰大）
- IAH 36.1%（休斯顿）
- MSY 34.9%（新奥尔良）
- JFK 33.7%（纽约市）
- BWI 30.4%（巴尔的摩）
- PIT 27.5%（匹兹堡）
- LGA 20.3%（纽约市）
- PHL 19.7%（费城）
- PHX 19.3%（菲尼克斯）
国土安全部的资金继续承受民主党迫使政府停摆的压力，这是本财年的第二次停摆。民主党使特朗普成为有史以来最多次停摆的总统。

特朗普已派遣ICE官员前往困境机场，同时正在谈判一项潜在的国土安全部资金协议——即使该协议暂时排除ICE资金，因国会山目前正在权衡此事。

As the Senate weighs the new paths forward to end the 38-day government shutdown Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security is blasting Democrats for “the safety, dependability, and ease of our air travel at risk.”
The first spring travel weekend airport chaos has subsided in the Transportation Security Administration lines at some of the major hubs of Atlanta, House and New Orleans, but acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis told Fox News that more than 3,200 TSA workers called out from their Monday shifts and more than 450 TSA officers have outright quit their jobs.
“Day 38 of the Democrats’ shutdown: American travelers are facing hours-long waits at airports across the country and more than 450 TSA officers quit and thousands have called out sick from work because they are not able to afford gas, childcare, food, or rent,” Bis said in a statement.
Notably, President Donald Trump’s move to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the hardest-hit airports has been given credit to alleviating some of the TSA security delays that reached a reported high of nine hours in Atlanta.

Fox News reporting on site noted security lines were minimal Tuesday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, widely known as the busiest airport in the world. Also, video on social media hailed ICE agents in Houston passing out water to travelers waiting in still-long lines there.
“While the Democrats continue to put the safety, dependability, and ease of our air travel at risk, President Trump is taking action to deploy hundreds of ICE officers, that are currently funded by Congress, to airports being adversely impacted,” Bis’ statement added.

“This will help bolster TSA efforts to keep our skies safe and minimize air travel disruptions.”
Some critics note Tuesday’s lighter security lines were due to lighter weekday travel versus the first Sunday of spring, famously a busy travel time due to spring break.
Sunday’s TSA officer callout rate peaked Sunday at its highest rate of the shutdown (11.6% nationwide), according to DHS data shared with Fox News.

But callout rates are not equal nationwide, with Houston, Atlanta and New Orleans topping the DHS charts among the top 10 major airport callout rates.
- HOU 40.3% (Houston)
- ATL 37.4% (Atlanta)
- IAH 36.1% (Houston)
- MSY 34.9% (New Orleans)
- JFK 33.7% (New York City)
- BWI 30.4% (Baltimore)
- PIT 27.5% (Pittsburgh
- LGA 20.3% (New York City)
- PHL 19.7% (Philadelphia)
- PHX 19.3% (Phoenix)
The DHS funding remains under the pressure of a Democrat-forced government shutdown, the second in this fiscal year. Democrats have made Trump the most shutdown president of all time.

Trump has sent ICE officers to distressed airports, while negotiating a potential deal to fund DHS — even if it leaves out ICE funding as it is currently being weighed on Capitol Hill.
