随着政府部分停摆持续，美国国土安全部（DHS）将于周日起暂停TSA快速安检（PreCheck）和全球入境（Global Entry）项目。
周六，国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）指责民主党人导致政府停摆，称他们正在造成”严重的现实后果”。
“这是第119届国会期间民主党政客第三次关闭这个部门，”诺姆在提供给福克斯新闻数字版的声明中表示。”停摆会产生严重的现实后果，不仅影响国土安全部的工作人员及其家庭无法领取薪水，还会危及我们的国家安全。”
《华盛顿邮报》率先报道了这两个项目的暂停情况，称这些项目允许部分旅客快速通过机场安检，相关变更将于美国东部时间周日凌晨6点开始。
诺姆表示，该部门正在做出”艰难但必要的人员和资源决策，以减轻这些政客造成的损害”。
她说，运输安全管理局（TSA）和美国海关与边境保护局（CBP）将”优先考虑机场和入境口岸的普通旅客群体，并暂停礼遇和特殊特权护送服务”。她补充说，联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）将停止所有与灾难无关的响应，以优先处理灾害相关事务。
诺姆指出，此次停摆正值大西洋中部和东北部预计将遭遇强风暴之际。
众议院国土安全委员会资深成员、密西西比州民主党众议员本尼·汤普森（Bennie Thompson）批评特朗普政府”愚蠢地”关闭这些项目”以惩罚美国民众”。
“这是特朗普和克里斯蒂·诺姆故意惩罚美国民众，并将他们作为其施虐政治游戏的棋子，”他在一份声明中表示。”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损害美国公民权益而无薪工作的国土安全部员工的负担。”
他呼吁政府立即撤销这一决定。
近半年内第三次政府停摆于2月14日开始，此前民主党和共和党在关于唐纳德·特朗普总统移民镇压政策的协议问题上陷入僵局。
在民主党退出上月针对两名美国公民在明尼阿波利斯反移民和海关执法局示威活动中被联邦执法人员杀害事件的两党计划后，国土安全部成为唯一没有获得联邦资金的部门。
国土安全部是第三大内阁机构，拥有近27.2万名员工。根据该部门2025年9月的政府停摆计划，约90%的国土安全部员工预计将继续工作，许多人将无薪工作。
国土安全部管辖众多机构和办公室，包括海关与边境保护局、运输安全管理局、联邦紧急事务管理局、移民与海关执法局（ICE）、美国海岸警卫队和美国特勤局。

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will suspend TSA PreCheck and Global Entry beginning Sunday as a partial government shutdown continues.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Saturday blamed Democrats for shutting down the government, saying they were causing “serious real world consequences.”
“This is the third time that Democrat politicians have shut down this department during the 119th Congress,” Noem said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. “Shutdowns have serious real world consequences, not just for the men and women of DHS and their families who go without a paycheck, but it endangers our national security.”
The suspension of the programs, which allow some travelers to quickly get through airport security, was first reported by The Washington Post, which noted the changes would begin Sunday at 6 a.m. EST.
Noem said the department was making “tough but necessary workforce and resource decisions to mitigate the damage inflicted by these politicians.”
She said TSA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would be “prioritizing the general traveling population at our airports and ports of entry and suspending courtesy and special privilege escorts.” The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), she added, will halt all non-disaster-related response to prioritize disasters.
Noem noted the suspension comes as a major storm is expected to hit the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, criticized the Trump administration for “idiotically” shutting down the programs “to punish the American people.”
“This is Trump and Kristi Noem purposely punishing the American people and using them as pawns for their sadistic political games,” he said in a statement. “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.”
He called on the administration to immediately reverse the decision.
The third government shutdown in under half a year began on Feb. 14 after Democrats and Republicans were at an impasse on reaching a deal regarding President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
DHS was the only department left without federal funding after Democrats walked away from a bipartisan plan released last month in response to the deaths of two U.S. citizens at the hands of federal law enforcement agents in Minneapolis during anti-ICE demonstrations.
DHS is the third-largest Cabinet agency with nearly 272,000 employees. Roughly 90% of DHS workers were expected to continue working, many without pay, according to the department’s Sept. 2025 government shutdown plan.
DHS has jurisdiction over numerous agencies and offices, including CBP, TSA, FEMA, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S. Secret Service.
