Pass DHS Funding Without ICE Appropriations

Pass the Senate bill that funds DHS without ICE and end this shutdown now. TSA workers have missed over $1 billion in paychecks while you play political games, and the consequences are hitting every traveler in America. Last Thursday, nearly 12% of TSA workers called out nationwide. At Houston's airport, the rate hit 44.4%. At Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson, it reached 40.7%. Travelers are waiting 3 to 7 hours in security lines that stretch outside terminals. People are arriving 8 hours early for flights. This is not sustainable, and it's not what your constituents voted for. The House plan to fund ICE for 8 weeks is a non-starter that guarantees more weeks of chaos. Senate Democrats have already rejected it. You know this. Stop holding airport security, travelers, and federal workers hostage to force through funding that lacks support. The Senate passed a solution that funds the critical functions Americans need. Accept it and move on.
