华盛顿，3月27日（路透社） – 美国国土安全部周五表示，由于工作人员缺勤导致美国机场陷入混乱并出现长时间安检队伍，该部门正采取紧急行动，向自2月中旬以来一直未获得薪资的5万名机场安检人员支付报酬。
“（运输安全管理局）已立即开始支付其员工薪资的流程。运输安全管理局人员最早将于周一收到薪水，”国土安全部表示。

总统唐纳德·特朗普周四表示，他将采取行政行动向运输安全管理局工作人员支付薪资，并于周五发布了相关付款指令。
运输安全管理局周五早些时候表示，近12%的机场安检人员周四未到岗，这是自2月中旬以来最严重的缺勤情况。
周四和周五，多个主要机场报告出现严重混乱，包括安检队伍长达数小时的情况。运输安全管理局称，周四共有超过3450名安检人员未到岗，其中纽约肯尼迪国际机场、巴尔的摩、休斯顿和亚特兰大机场超过三分之一的安检人员缺勤。
运输安全管理局援引报告称，全国各地机场出现长达4小时或更久的安检队伍，这是该机构近25年历史上最严重的排队情况。
航空公司官员告诉路透社，如果没有明确的薪资支付细节，本周末缺勤和排队情况可能会进一步恶化。自2月以来，已有近500名机场安检人员辞职。

目前尚不清楚此次资金能维持多久，也不清楚特朗普是否会动用去年作为大规模税收和支出法案一部分批准的国土安全部资金。
国会民主党人因明尼阿波利斯的特工枪杀美国公民Renee Good和Alex Pretti事件，在要求改变移民行动规则的同时，搁置了对国土安全部的资金拨款。
美国众议院共和党领袖周五拒绝了两党参议院的妥协方案，以结束国土安全部资金问题长达六周的僵局。
国会民主党人曾提议在谈判移民和海关执法局行动改革的同时，单独为运输安全管理局提供资金。
运输安全管理局周三重申，如果人员配备问题进一步恶化，该机构可能被迫关闭小型机场。
机场正面临学校春假出行高峰，客流量比去年同期高出约5%。
数百名美国移民特工和国土安全调查局特工周一开始在14个美国机场部署，以协助安全检查。

DHS orders payment of 50,000 US airport workers in emergency action | Reuters

WASHINGTON, March 27 (Reuters) – The U.S. Homeland Security Department said on Friday it was taking emergency action to pay 50,000 airport security officers who have gone unpaid since mid-February, after work absences brought chaos and long security lines to U.S. airports.
“(The Transportation Security Administration) has immediately begun the process of paying its workforce. TSA officers should begin seeing paychecks as early as Monday,” DHS said.

President Donald Trump said on Thursday he would take executive action to pay TSA workers and issued a memo directing the payments Friday.
The TSA said earlier on Friday that nearly 12% of airport security officers did not show up for work on Thursday, the most absences since mid-February.
Major disruptions, including airport security lines of several hours or more, were reported at a number of major airports on Thursday and again on Friday. The TSA said more than 3,450 officers did not show up for work on Thursday, including more than one-third of officers at New York’s JFK and at airports in Baltimore, Houston and Atlanta.

The TSA cited reports of lines of four hours or more at airports across the country – the worst lines in the agency’s nearly 25-year history.
Airline officials told Reuters that absences and lines could worsen this weekend if there were no concrete details on how TSA officers would be paid. Nearly 500 airport security officers have quit since February.

It is unclear how long the funding will last or whether Trump would tap funding for the Homeland Security Department approved last year as part of a massive tax and spending bill.
Democrats in Congress have held up funding for DHS while demanding a change in rules governing its immigration operations, after agents in Minneapolis shot and killed U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday rejected a bipartisan Senate compromise to end the six-week deadlock over DHS funding.
Congressional Democrats had proposed funding TSA separately while negotiating over reforms on how Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents operate.
The TSA had reiterated on Wednesday that the agency could be forced to close smaller airports if staffing issues worsened.
Airports are grappling with a school spring-break travel surge with about 5% higher volume than last year’s.
Hundreds of U.S. immigration agents and Homeland Security Investigations officers began deploying at 14 U.S. airports on Monday to aid security screening.
