The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will run out of funding to pay federal airport security officers in the coming weeks if no congressional deal is made, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said on Tuesday.
President Donald Trump in late March told DHS to use its emergency funds to pay Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers who had gone without paychecks for several weeks due to a partial shutdown of the department, causing airport disruptions across the country.
