The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced Friday that Transportation Security Administration employees will begin receiving paychecks as the department’s shutdown continues. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said the House will pursue its own bill that would fully fund the department for 60 days. Johnson said the Senate’s bill would not move forward because it did not include funding for ICE. Twitler was also critical of the Senate-passed bill, saying it “wasn’t appropriate”. He signed an executive order to direct payment toward the more than 60,000 TSA employees. |
