DHS Shutdown Now The Longest In US History
Authored by Jacki Thrapp via The Epoch Times,
부분적인 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 폐쇄는 3월 29일에 미국 역사상 가장 긴 폐쇄가 되었습니다.
DHS 폐쇄는 일요일에 44일째를 맞이하며, 2025년 가을에 발생한 미국 정부 폐쇄 기간을 경신했습니다.
Capitol Hill의 공화당 및 민주당 의원들은 서로를 비난하며 의회 홀을 통해 다양한 제안을 던졌지만, 성공적으로 진행되지 못했습니다.
공화당은 민주당이 DHS 지출 법안을 추진하지 않는다고 비판했고, 민주당은 이민 운영 방식에 대한 대대적인 변화를 보장받을 때까지 자금 법안을 승인하지 않을 것이라고 말했습니다.
House는 3월 27일에 213–203의 투표로 DHS에 60일 동안 자금을 지원하는 임시 계획을 통과시켰습니다.
이 법안은 두 주간의 휴회에 들어간 Senate로 전달되었습니다.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah)는 동료들에게 워싱턴으로 돌아와 DHS 폐쇄를 종식할 것을 촉구했습니다.
“화재를 진압하고 싶지 않다면 소방관이 되지 마세요,” Lee는 Fox News와의 인터뷰에서 말했습니다.
“힘든 시간대에 고된 투표를 하고 때로는 원하는 것보다 더 오래 일해야 한다면, 아마도 United States senator가 되어서는 안 될 것입니다.”
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)가 대부분의 부서 자금을 지원했지만 이민 집행 운영 외에는 지원하지 않는 Senate의 조치를 거부한 후 House는 전체 DHS에 대한 단기 자금 법안을 통과시켰습니다.
“우리는 언젠가 민주당이 마침내 정신을 차리고 미국 시민의 안전을 최우선으로 둘 것이라고 희망하지만, 우리는 숨을 죽이고 기다리지 않을 것입니다,” Johnson은 토요일 기자 회견에서 말했습니다.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)는 금요일 밤에 통과된 House의 법안을 지원하지 않을 것이라고 말했습니다.
“상태를 유지하는 것을 잠그는 60일간의 CR은 Senate에서 통과될 수 없으며, 공화당은 이를 알고 있습니다,” Schumer는 X 게시물에 썼습니다.
“우리는 첫날부터 분명히 했습니다. 민주당은 중요한 Homeland Security 기능을 자금 지원할 것입니다. 그러나 우리는 Trump의 무법적이고 치명적인 이민 민병대에 대한 무덤을 주지 않을 것입니다.”
폐쇄는 많은 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) 요원들이 2월 중순 이후 급여를 받지 못했기 때문에 공항에서 매우 긴 줄이 생겼습니다.
DHS에 따르면 폐쇄가 시작된 이후 500명 가까이의 TSA 요원이 연료비, 식료품비, 주택 담보 대출과 같은 비용을 지불할 수 없었기 때문에 사임했습니다.
대통령 Donald Trump가 행정 명령에 서명한 후 3월 30일경에 TSA 요원들은 오랫동안 지연된 급여를 받게 될 것으로 예상됩니다.

"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.
