So #ICE agents are paid but TSA not b/c "Congress has prioritized" ICE but not #TSA?

Doesn't that say the #GOP-dominated (ie, -controlled) Congress has determined TSA agents are superfluous?

Plus #Dems have a bill to pay TSA that #GOP refuse to even let out of committee:

GOP's at fault as usual.

I think ICE is still using funds from the Big Ugly Bill.

@SpiritualAnnie

Exactly.

That's a #GOP Bill that could have included TSA agents in the carve-out, but didn't. So obviously, GOP didn't think the Transportation Security Agency, whose agents are the front line delivering airport security, deserved the same prioritization as ICE. GOP stubbornly doubles down on their cavalier attitude to air travel safety by refusing to even allow the Dems' Transportation Security Administration Pay Act of 2026 come to the floor for a vote.
