TSA agent says Congress has ‘let down’ Americans amid DHS standoff

TSA agent and AFGE representative Johnny Jones discusses high TSA callout rates, the ongoing fight in Congress over DHS funding, and President Donald Trump’s deployment of ICE agents to airports on ‘The Sunday Briefing.’

Jacqui Heinrich highlights the severe repercussions of the DHS shutdown, as TSA agents at major U.S. airports miss paychecks, leading to record-high callout rates, with some locations seeing over 40% absenteeism.
