President Trump is ordering the Department of Homeland Security and Office of Management and Budget to pay TSA agents.

As NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports, the order comes as Congress again failed to end the DHS shutdown.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffrey says the better way forward in the budget showdown is to have the House vote on the funding measure passed by the Senate Thursday night.

That compromise bill would restore funding for much of DHS, including FEMA, the Coast Guard and TSA.

Democrats have been holding up the funding because they want ICE agents to stop wearing face masks, wear the same identification other police agencies use, and to stop conducting raids around schools and other sensitive places.
