Tuesday, 21 April 2026 01:59 PM EDT

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned on Tuesday that he will run out of money ​to pay for 50,000 Transportation ⁠Security Administration workers in ​the coming weeks unless ⁠Congress acts to fund the department.

President Donald Trump ‌in late ​March directed DHS ‌to use emergency ‌funds to pay TSA workers who had gone ⁠without paychecks ‌for about ⁠six weeks and ⁠had ⁠sparked massive disruptions at U.S. ‌airports.

Mullin told "Fox and Friends" on Tuesday that ‌the ​money ‌would run out by early May.
