Travellers have faced hours-long waits at airports around the country as a partial government shutdown has left TSA agents without pay.
Amid a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, President Donald Trump announced that ICE agents would be sent to assist at U.S. airports, beginning Monday. This decision comes as severe TSA staffing shortages have caused long security lines, especially at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
