ā€˜No Kings’ Sweeps U.S. & Pentagon Preps Ground Op? | 3.30.26

While House Democrats did approve of the Senate deal, it did seem to be dead on arrival when President Trump publicly expressed his disapproval for the measure.

In terms of the House measure, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said it would also be dead on arrival for their solution.

So he's not thrilled about where things are right now.

Now, the president told Fox News the other day that the Senate deal was not appropriate given the ICE and Border Patrol call-out.

And as part of this, he has doubled down on his call to get rid of the Senate filibuster.

Morning Wire
ā€˜No Kings’ Sweeps U.S. & Pentagon Preps Ground Op? | 3.30.26

That's that 60-vote threshold to move forward most legislation in that chamber.

Now, this also ties back to his desire to pass the Save America Act.

Morning Wire
ā€˜No Kings’ Sweeps U.S. & Pentagon Preps Ground Op? | 3.30.26

which is that voter identification bill.

Opponents worry that getting rid of the filibuster would make it easier for Democrats to pass some items that they want with some moderate Republican support.

However, you have people who want to get rid of the filibuster saying that this is very necessary to pass the rest of President Trump's legislative agenda.

Morning Wire
ā€˜No Kings’ Sweeps U.S. & Pentagon Preps Ground Op? | 3.30.26

Yeah, so obviously people should still be keeping an eye on their flights.

Some airports are still dealing with hours-long wait times.

Morning Wire
ā€˜No Kings’ Sweeps U.S. & Pentagon Preps Ground Op? | 3.30.26

However, ICE has done a significant job.

Morning Wire
ā€˜No Kings’ Sweeps U.S. & Pentagon Preps Ground Op? | 3.30.26

of cutting back some of those wait times at many airports around the United States while others have still remained calm.

Morning Wire
ā€˜No Kings’ Sweeps U.S. & Pentagon Preps Ground Op? | 3.30.26

Now, the important part here is TSA officers are expected to receive back pay starting this week.

Morning Wire
ā€˜No Kings’ Sweeps U.S. & Pentagon Preps Ground Op? | 3.30.26

Now, the goal with that is to hopefully reduce the number of call-outs to make sure that people are now going to get paid once again, and hopefully that will lead to shorter wait times across the board.

without needing the assistance of extra DHS help.

Morning Wire
ā€˜No Kings’ Sweeps U.S. & Pentagon Preps Ground Op? | 3.30.26

But the important aspect of this here, too, is this could create some long-term implications for TSA as 500 agents have fully quit their job.

And there also could be some retention and recruitment issues down the road.

Meanwhile, overnight, the Senate struck an early morning deal on legislation with the same goal, but it's already hitting some major speed bumps.
