President Donald Trump says he will sign an order instructing the Homeland Security secretary to immediately pay Transportation Security Administration workers. The Senate is working late into the night to resolve the 41-day funding impasse that has jammed airports and left workers without paychecks. Trump announced his decision in a social media post saying he wanted to quickly stop the “Chaos at the Airports.” The White House and senators appear to be narrowing in on a endgame before TSA workers miss another paycheck Friday. Democrats have been refusing to fund the Department of Homeland Security as they demand changes to rein in Trump’s immigration enforcement operations.
The deal, which the Senate approved unanimously without a roll call, next goes to the House, which is expected to consider it Friday.
