We are enthusiastically willing to pay TSA workers today, and we will keep trying, but the sticking point is that Republicans want to attach ICE funding to it. We are not in agreement about ICE, but I don’t think workers and travelers should have to wait for an ICE deal.

Republicans are holding TSA and other agencies paychecks hostage because of ICE. Let’s set ICE aside while we negotiate, and fund everything else today.

We can fund the TSA. We can fund FEMA. We can fund CISA. We can fund the Coast Guard. Then we can talk through our differences on reining in the tactics of ICE and CBP to better protect Americans. I hope my colleagues support this approach the next time it comes up for a vote.

Republicans blocked Democrats' bill to pay TSA workers AGAIN.   Then, they blocked our bill to fund all of DHS besides ICE & CBP...AGAIN.   We've given Republicans every chance to solve this TODAY. They refuse unless Congress cuts a blank check to ICE. Not happening.

Republicans blocked our bill to fully fund TSA & their agents. This is the 8th time they've blocked our attempts to reopen TSA, FEMA, & other agencies outside of ICE & CBP at DHS. But they would rather hold these agencies hostage to give Trump's ICE & CBP another blank check.

Today, I took to the Senate floor to try to pass funding for TSA. My Republican colleagues said no. They are holding all the other Homeland Security agencies hostage because of ICE. Set ICE aside while we negotiate reforms. Fund everything else today.

ICE and Border Patrol are sitting on a Republican slush fund. But Republicans are holding TSA workers' paychecks hostage unless they can give ICE & CBP even more money without BASIC reforms to prevent masked federal agents from breaking into people's homes & hurting them.

Chris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT·
Democrats keep trying to pass legislation to reopen TSA and Republicans keep blocking it. Why, you ask? Because they want to keep TSA closed as leverage to fund Trump’s deadly immigration round ups.
U.S. Senate Democrats Floor Updates@DSenFloor

.@SenatorWarnock asked unanimous consent that the Senate consider and pass S. 4127, TSA Pay Act Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) objected.

Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock@SenatorWarnock·
Senate Republicans just blocked my bill that would have paid TSA workers. My Republican colleagues are saying that if you don't give the President's overgrown paramilitary force of masked agents more money, they're going to leave TSA workers and others unpaid. I think that's patently unfair.

TSA agents could get paid TODAY if Republicans stopped blocking Democrats' bill. All of DHS could get funded THIS WEEK if Republicans agreed to basic ICE reforms. But they refuse. Republicans need to stop holding TSA workers' pay hostage to give more money to ICE & CBP.

If you're waiting in a TSA line, you can thank Senate Republicans for rejecting Democrats' proposal to fund TSA. We can support TSA workers while we hold this administration accountable. Last week, Republicans chose Trump over you.
CNN@CNN

Long lines and delays are growing at some US airports as hundreds of Transportation Security Administration workers — going without full pay during the partial government shutdown — have quit or taken unscheduled leave. cnn.it/40ur27v

Dems put forth proposals to pay TSA officers & others while DHS negotiations continue. Each time, Republicans chose to block us & rubber-stamp wasteful luxury private jet boondoggles for Trump's DHS appointees. Time for real oversight, accountability & reform.

REMINDER: Democrats tried SIX TIMES to fund the parts of DHS that Congress agrees on—like paying TSA workers, FEMA, and cyber defense. Republicans blocked us every single time.

Senator Cortez Masto@SenCortezMasto·
A reminder that last week, Senate Republicans could have funded essential agencies like CISA. They objected. The Senate is back in session today - we could fund CISA, fund FEMA, and pay TSA agents if Republicans stop blocking @SenateDems clean funding bill.
Senate Democrats@SenateDems

Just now: Senate Republicans BLOCKED funding for CISA which is responsible for cybersecurity and infrastructure protection. @SenatorAndyKim’s bill would have funded CISA while negotiations continue to rein in ICE and CBP.

How is this not simple?? We are fighting over reforming an out-of-control ICE. We have agreed to fully fund, no conditions attached, TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard and more. wsj.com/politics/polic…
