Several airports across the United States continued to see long lines and chaotic crowds   prompted by a growing number of callouts from Transportation Security Administration officers who have gone without pay since funding for the Department of Homeland Security lapsed in February.

To help with the staffing shortages, DHS has deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to 14 airports seeing significant impacts – a move condemned by some Senate Democrats.

  President Donald Trump has said he will not strike a DHS funding deal unless Democrats back the “SAVE America Act” – a bill criticized by Democrats, saying it would create unnecessary barriers to vote. 

Senate Majority Leader John Thune called Trump’s demands “unrealistic” and has indicated that he is open to excluding immigration enforcement funding from DHS funding.
