A bid to alleviate disruptions at USA reports amid the ongoing shutdown of its parent's agency.

Trump's fronting memo stated that 50,000 transportation officers who work security at airports are not being paid due to the funding lapse at the DHS.

Prompting almost 500 to leave their positions with thousands more calling in sick.

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.

President Trump has already ordered by executive order that TSA agents will be paid.

And those, that machinery is in process right now.

The Office of Management and Budget is working through that to make sure that that happens.

And we will reduce the lines and the weights at the airlines.

It will make sure that those who are protecting us are paid.

Still, it's unclear how the system will work.

The memo does not cite the specific source of funding.

The president may also lack the legal authority to unilaterally authorize pay.

Federal law gives Congress the power of the purse.

One of the immediate challenges we're going to face is an Iran that made decide that they want to set up a tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz.
