As the government shutdown continues, TSA agents in El Paso and across the country are working without pay, leading to increased absenteeism and long security lines at airports. President Trump has announced plans to deploy ICE agents to assist at airports if Congress does not reach a funding agreement by Monday.

With TSA callout rates exceeding 9% and predictions of worsening conditions, travelers may experience even longer wait times in the coming weeks. The situation is critical, as some airports could face closures if staffing shortages worsen.
