DHS Shutdown Now The Longest In US History

Authored by Jacki Thrapp via The Epoch Times,

El cierre parcial del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) se convirtió en el más largo en la historia de EE. UU. el 29 de marzo.

El cierre del DHS alcanzó su día 44 el domingo, rompiendo el récord anterior establecido durante el cierre del gobierno de EE. UU. en el otoño de 2025.

Los legisladores republicanos y demócratas en Capitol Hill se han culpado mutuamente por el estancamiento mientras lanzaban una vertiginosa variedad de propuestas a través de los pasillos del Congreso que no han avanzado con éxito.

Los republicanos criticaron a los demócratas por no avanzar con sus proyectos de gasto del DHS, mientras que los demócratas dijeron que no aprobarán la factura de financiación hasta que estén seguros de ver una revisión en cómo se gestionan las operaciones de inmigración.

La Cámara de Representantes aprobó un plan provisional para financiar el DHS durante 60 días el 27 de marzo con una votación de 213–203.

La factura se envió al Senado, que acaba de entrar en una recesión de dos semanas.

El senador Mike Lee (R-Utah) ha instado a sus colegas a regresar a Washington y poner fin al cierre del DHS.

“Si no quieres combatir incendios, no te conviertas en bombero”, dijo Lee durante una entrevista en Fox News.

“Si no quieres realizar votaciones agotadoras a horas difíciles y a veces tener que trabajar más de lo que quieres, tal vez no deberías convertirte en senador de los Estados Unidos”.

La factura a corto plazo para financiar todo el DHS pasó la Cámara después de que el presidente de la Cámara, Mike Johnson (R-La.), rechazara la medida del Senado que habría financiado la mayor parte del departamento, aparte de sus operaciones de aplicación de la ley de inmigración.

“Esperamos que algún día los demócratas vuelvan a entrar en razón y pongan primero la seguridad de los ciudadanos estadounidenses, pero no estamos conteniendo la respiración”, dijo Johnson durante una conferencia de prensa el sábado.

El líder de la minoría del Senado, Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), dijo que no apoyaría la factura de la Cámara que se aprobó el viernes por la noche.

“Una CR de 60 días que consolida el statu quo es rechazada en el Senado, y los republicanos lo saben”, escribió Schumer en una publicación de X.

“Hemos sido claros desde el primer día: los demócratas financiarán las funciones críticas de Seguridad Nacional, pero no daremos un cheque en blanco a la milicia de inmigración sin ley y mortal de Trump sin reformas”.

El cierre ha provocado largas colas en los aeropuertos, ya que muchos agentes de la Administración de Seguridad del Transporte (TSA), que no han recibido un cheque desde mediados de febrero, no se han presentado al trabajo.

Casi 500 agentes de la TSA han renunciado desde que comenzó el cierre porque no pudieron pagar gastos como gasolina, alimentos o sus hipotecas, dijo el DHS.

Se espera que los agentes de la TSA reciban sus cheques atrasados ​​tan pronto como el 30 de marzo, después de que el presidente Donald Trump firmara una orden ejecutiva.

"The shutdown's market impact hinges on whether TSA attrition causes sustained travel delays that depress consumer spending, not on political resolution timelines."

This is a real operational crisis with measurable economic drag. TSA attrition (500 agents, 44-day shutdown) directly impacts airport throughput and consumer confidence. But the article conflates political theater with actual DHS dysfunction—TSA is funded separately via TSA fee revenue and doesn't depend on DHS appropriations the way ICE/CBP do. The real pain is concentrated in immigration enforcement, not airport security. A 60-day CR locks in status quo but doesn't paralyze the agency. The market should care less about shutdown duration and more about whether this triggers recession-level consumer/business travel disruption. Current data doesn't show that yet.

If TSA staffing recovers post-March 30 paycheck and airport delays normalize, the political noise becomes irrelevant to markets within 2-3 weeks—this could be a non-event by earnings season.

"The loss of 500 trained TSA agents creates a permanent capacity bottleneck that will depress airline revenue long after the shutdown ends."

This DHS shutdown is a direct bearish catalyst for the travel and defense sectors. The departure of 500 TSA agents and rising absenteeism create a 'soft closure' of US airspace; if wait times exceed four hours, we will see a collapse in high-margin business travel bookings for Q2. Furthermore, the article mentions a 2025 shutdown, implying a pattern of fiscal instability that threatens the 'risk-free' status of US Treasuries. While the Executive Order aims to restore pay, it doesn't address the underlying 60-day CR (Continuing Resolution) deadlock, meaning we are merely kicking a systemic logistics failure down the road.

The market may shrug this off as political theater, as the Executive Order provides a temporary liquidity bridge for workers that prevents a total collapse of the aviation infrastructure.

"The DHS shutdown materially raises operational and payroll risk for US airlines and airports, likely cutting near-term revenue and margins until funding is restored."

This prolonged DHS shutdown — 44 days and counting with TSA agents unpaid until an executive order — is a near-term operational shock to travel and border-related services. Expect outsized volatility in airlines (AAL, DAL, UAL), airport operators, and security contractors (Leidos, L3Harris, CACI) as cancellations, staffing shortages, and overtime/back-pay costs hit Q2 results and margins. Politically, the standoff raises the odds of stopgap funding battles and last-minute fixes that transfer costs into future budgets. Missing context: the article understates how quickly an executive action or Senate return could blunt the pain, and it omits detailed exposure by smaller DHS vendors and local economies reliant on airport activity.

The strongest counter is that an executive order restoring pay and a likely short-term CR will materially reduce the real economic damage, and travel demand has so far shown resilience — markets may already have priced most of the near-term risk.

"TSA agent exodus and airport delays will compress airline load factors and Q2 profits amid stalled funding relief."

This record 44-day DHS shutdown is crushing TSA operations—500 agents quit amid unpaid wages since mid-February, sparking airport chaos and deterring travel. Airlines like DAL, UAL, and AAL face immediate headwinds: slashed load factors, higher costs from delays, and softer Q2 bookings as passengers shun lines. Consumer discretionary (XLY) takes a hit via reduced spending. House's 60-day CR (passed 213-203 on March 27) is stalled in recessing Senate, prolonging uncertainty. Broader GDP drag looms if unresolved by April, echoing 2018-19 shutdown's 0.1-0.2% growth shave (CBO est.).

Historical shutdowns like 2018-19 saw quick market rebounds post-resolution with backpay; this partial measure spares core DHS functions (e.g., FEMA), limiting systemic risk while Trump's EO ensures TSA pay March 30.

"The March 30 paycheck is a hard reset for TSA attrition risk; watch absenteeism data week-of-April-1 to confirm whether this becomes a Q2 earnings headwind or a footnote."

Grok cites 0.1-0.2% GDP drag from 2018-19 shutdown, but that lasted 35 days with full federal workforce unpaid. This one is 44 days with *partial* operations (FEMA, CBP core functions running). The math doesn't scale linearly. More critically: nobody's flagged the March 30 EO paycheck timing. If TSA absenteeism drops sharply post-payment, airport throughput normalizes within 5-7 days. That's a binary de-risking event that could flip airline guidance by early April. Gemini's 'soft closure of US airspace' assumes sustained staffing collapse—unlikely if pay resumes.

"The loss of 500 agents creates a permanent capacity ceiling for summer travel that cannot be fixed by an executive order."

Gemini’s 'soft closure' thesis is hyperbole that ignores the March 30 pay bridge. If pay flows, absenteeism drops. However, everyone is missing the 'back-pay liability' for the 500 departed agents. Replacing them requires 6-9 months of vetting and training. Even if pay resumes, the structural capacity of the TSA is permanently lowered for the summer peak. This isn't a liquidity crisis; it's a permanent labor supply shock that will cap airline load factors regardless of funding.

"A DHS continuing resolution and unpaid TSA workers do not by themselves threaten the 'risk-free' status of US Treasuries; only missed Treasury payments or debt-limit default would."

Gemini, claiming this pattern threatens the 'risk-free' status of US Treasuries is a major overreach — a DHS continuing resolution and unpaid TSA staff don't equal sovereign default. Markets price Treasury credit risk around missed debt-limit deadlines or actual failed Treasury payments, not agency funding fights. The realistic transmission is a growth shock that raises term premia (hurting yields indirectly) and sector hits to airlines/security contractors, not a loss of Treasury sanctuary.

"TSA staffing hole is trivial vs. total headcount and recoverable fast; watch CBP for tourism demand hit."

Gemini, TSA's 60k workforce dwarfs 500 quits (<1%); vetting ramps via overtime/contingencies, not 6-9 months—2019 rebound was weeks post-backpay. No permanent cap on summer loads. Bigger miss: CBP border delays spiking international tourism cancellations (UAL transatlantic exposure), unpriced in airline forwards trading at 7-8x 2025 EBITDA.
