President Trump has signed a memo directing Transportation Security Administration personnel to be paid a bid to alleviate disruptions at U.S.

A DHS spokesperson said that TSA has immediately begun the process of paying the workforce and that officers should begin seeing paychecks as early as Monday.
House Speaker Mike Johnson talked about the president's move.
