  1. Submission statement: Remember the deal senate dems got that cut DHS funding without affecting the rest of the government? well apparently the DHS has been in partial shutdown for a week and nobody noticed.

    Discussion question: Has the deal been a success for democrats and how should this shutdown end?

  2. Isn’t DHS’s favorite way to punish anti-ICE protestors by revoking their TSA PreCheck / Global Entry?

    Seems like it’s not much of a punishment if they’ll just apply it to cons too.

  3. According to New York Post *Trump admin reverses course, TSA says PreCheck will remain operational for now*

    The Transportation Security Administration abruptly reversed course on suspending its PreCheck service Sunday — saying it will remain operational despite a statement from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

    “At this time, TSA PreCheck remains operational with no change for the traveling public,” a TSA spokesperson told The Post.

    “As staffing constraints arise, TSA will evaluate on a case by case basis and adjust operations accordingly,” the spokesperson added. “Courtesy escorts, such as those for Members of Congress, have been suspended to allow officers to focus on the mission of securing America’s skies.”

    The DHS had said that it was temporarily “ending Transportation Security Administration (TSA) PreCheck® lanes and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Global Entry service,” due to the partial government shutdown.
