周六，美国国土安全部证实将暂停美国运输安全管理局(TSA)的快速安检(PreCheck)和全球入境(Global Entry)项目，部分政府停摆已进入第二周，部分乘客可能很快在美国机场面临更长的排队时间。
国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆(Kristi Noem)在周六深夜向CBS新闻提供的声明中表示，TSA和美国海关与边境保护局”正优先保障机场和入境口岸的普通旅客，暂停礼遇和特殊特权护送服务”。
部分政府停摆于2月14日生效，当时议员们未能就国土安全部的资金达成协议，民主党人要求对该机构进行改革，此前上个月明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市联邦移民特工枪杀了Renee Good和Alex Pretti。
除TSA外，部分政府停摆还影响了联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)、海岸警卫队、网络安全和基础设施局以及国土安全部内其他维护国家安全的机构，约13%的联邦文职人员受到影响。
这一举措遭到密西西比州民主党众议员、国土安全委员会高级成员本尼·汤普森(Bennie Thompson)的批评。
“这些笨蛋又在这么做了，”汤普森在声明中说，指责特朗普总统和诺姆”故意惩罚美国民众，把他们当作虐待狂政治游戏的棋子。TSA快速安检和全球入境项目减少了机场排队时间，并减轻了因特朗普滥用部门职权和杀害美国公民而无薪工作的国土安全部工作人员的负担。”
TSA快速安检是一项会员计划，旅客需先提交申请、通过TSA背景调查并支付费用，即可更快通过机场安检。只有美国公民和合法永久居民有资格参加，截至2024年，已有超过2000万人注册了TSA快速安检项目。
全球入境项目是美国海关与边境保护局为频繁国际旅行者设计的类似项目，除美国公民和合法永久居民外，还向近20个国家的公民开放。
与此同时，诺姆在声明中提到预计周日将袭击东北部的强冬季风暴，称FEMA将暂停”所有非灾害相关的应急响应，以优先应对灾害”。
“考虑到本周末另一场强冬季风暴预计将影响美国中大西洋地区和东北部，这一点尤为重要，”诺姆说。
此次部分政府停摆之前是2025年11月结束的美国历史上最长的43天政府停摆，当时停摆主要是由于民主党要求延长《平价医疗法案》中即将到期的医疗保险税收抵免。TSA员工在此期间被迫无薪工作，停摆结束后获得了欠薪，现在又再次面临同样的情况。

DHS suspending TSA PreCheck, Global Entry programs amid partial shutdown
February 22, 2026 / 12:29 AM EST / CBS News
Some flyers could soon experience longer lines at U.S. airports after the Department of Homeland Security on Saturday confirmed it would suspend the Transportation Security Administration’s PreCheck and Global Entry programs as the agency contends with a partial government shutdown that has entered its second week.
In a statement provided to CBS News late Saturday night, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that TSA and Customs and Border Protection “are prioritizing the general traveling population at our airports and ports of entry and suspending courtesy and special privilege escorts.”
The partial shutdown took effect on Feb. 14 after lawmakers failed to reach a deal on DHS funding over opposition from Democrats who demanded changes to the agency in the wake of the deadly shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last month by federal immigration agents.
Along with the TSA, the partial shutdown is impacting the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Coast Guard, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency and other agencies within DHS that safeguard national security. About 13% of the total federal civilian workforce is implicated.
The move drew criticism from Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, ranking member of the Committee on Homeland Security.
“These nitwits are at it again,” Thompson said in a statement, accusing President Trump and Noem of “purposely punishing the American people and using them as pawns for their sadistic political games. TSA PreCheck and Global Entry REDUCE airport lines and ease the burden on DHS staff who are working without pay because of Trump’s abuse of the Department and killing of American citizens.”
TSA PreCheck is a membership program that allows travelers to speed more quickly through airport security screenings after first submitting an application, undergoing a TSA background check and paying a fee. Only U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents are eligible. As of 2024, more than 20 million people were enrolled in TSA PreCheck.
Global Entry is a similar U.S. Customs and Border Protection program designed for those who frequently travel internationally. Along with U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, it is also available to citizens of nearly two dozen other countries.
Noem, meanwhile, citing the powerful winter storm that is expected to hit the Northeast Sunday, also said in her statement that FEMA would be halting “all non-disaster related response to prioritize disasters.”
“This is particularly important given this weekend another significant winter storm is forecast to impact the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast United States,” Noem said.
The partial shutdown follows a 43-day government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history, that ended in November. That shutdown was driven primarily by a demand from Democrats that expiring health insurance tax credits under the Affordable Care Act be extended. TSA employees were forced to work without pay during that time — receiving backpay when the shutdown ended — and are now doing the same again.
