President Donald Trump truet lørdag med å sende føderale immigrasjonsagenter til amerikanske flyplasser med mindre kongressens demokrater umiddelbart samtykker i å finansiere Department of Homeland Security.
"Jeg vil flytte våre briljante og patriotiske ICE-agenter til flyplassene der de vil utføre sikkerhet som ingen har sett før," skrev Trump i et innlegg på Truth Social. Trump-administrasjonen har møtt tung kritikk for aggressive deportasjonstaktikker fra Immigration and Customs Enforcement og Border Patrol-agenter.
Trump hevdet at ICE-agenter som håndterer sikkerhet på flyplasser vil arrestere immigranter som er i USA ulovlig, og spesielt målrette personer fra Somalia.
I et eget innlegg senere på dagen sa Trump at han planlegger å flytte ICE-agenter inn på flyplasser så tidlig som mandag, og fortelle dem å "GØR DERE KLARE."
"Jeg ser frem til å flytte ICE inn på mandag, og har allerede fortalt dem det: 'GØR DERE KLARE.' IKKE MER VENTING, IKKE MER SPILL!' skrev han.
Da han ble bedt om en kommentar, henviste Det hvite hus til Trumps sosiale medier. DHS svarte ikke umiddelbart på CNBCs forespørsler om en kommentar.
En bipartisan gruppe senatorer møtte DHS-grense-sjef Tom Homan i går kveld for å diskutere ytterligere immigrasjons håndhevelsesinnrømmelser som Det hvite hus gjorde fredag i et forsøk på å avslutte den delvise regjeringsstengningen, POLITICO rapporterte, og siterte lovgivere som var til stede.
Senatet er i sesjon lørdag og søndag, og arbeider med andre lovgivningsmessige spørsmål, men det er uklart om det vil finne sted ytterligere forhandlinger eller en avstemning om det nye DHS-finansieringsforslaget.
Demokratene krever endringer i hvordan føderal immigrasjons håndhevelse opererer i bytte mot å frigjøre finansieringen. Det hvite hus og demokratene har utvekslet forslag i over en måned, men har ennå ikke kommet til en avtale.
DHS-stengningen har vært mindre forstyrrende enn fjorårets rekordlange regjeringsstengning. Men siden mye av DHS anses som essensielt, er ansatte forpliktet til å jobbe uten lønn.
Effektene av finansieringsstoppet og mangelen på lønn merkes på amerikanske flyplasser, der Transportation Security Administration-agenter slutter eller melder seg syke. DHS-ansatte gikk glipp av sine første fulle lønnsslipper forrige uke.
Mangelen på agenter har forårsaket usedvanlig lange køer ved sikkerhetskontroller, inkludert i Atlanta og Houston, der vårferiereiser er i full gang.
"Hvis en avtale ikke blir inngått, vil du se hva som skjer i dag se ut som barnespill," sa Transportminister Sean Duffy til CNN fredag. Tidligere i uken advarte Duffy om at mindre flyplasser snart kan stenge helt på grunn av bemanningsmangel.
I et eget innlegg tidligere på dagen sa Tesla-sjef og tidligere Trump-rådgiver Elon Musk at han gjerne vil dekke lønnsslippene til TSA-offiserer ettersom stengningen fortsetter.
"Jeg vil gjerne tilby å betale lønningene til TSA-personell i løpet av denne finansieringsvanskeligheten som negativt påvirker livene til så mange amerikanere på flyplasser over hele landet," sa Musk, verdens rikeste mann, i et innlegg på X.
Musk svarte ikke umiddelbart på en forespørsel om en kommentar.
Gjennomsnittslønnen for TSA-agenter er omtrent 46 000 til 55 000 dollar, ifølge en nylig rapport fra Associated Press.
Det er uklart hvordan en slik tilnærming ville fungere.
I fjor kunngjorde Trump at en velstående, uidentifisert giver sørget for 130 millioner dollar for å bidra til å dekke militære lønnsunderskudd forårsaket av administrasjonens første regjeringsstengning, den lengste i historien. Den mystiske giveren ble senere identifisert som Timothy Mellon, en arving til en anerkjent bankfamilie fra Gilded Age, The New York Times rapporterte.
Men Mellons donasjon tilsvarte bare rundt 100 dollar per tjenestemann. Det koster nesten 6,4 milliarder dollar å betale amerikanske soldater hver fjortende dag. Og en slik donasjon kan ha brutt Antideficiency Act, som forbyr føderale etater å bruke midler som ikke er bevilget av Kongressen, The Times rapporterte.

"TSA agent attrition is a ratchet, not a temporary inconvenience—if funding isn’t restored by mid-March, operational capacity doesn’t snap back when money returns."

This is theater masking a real operational crisis. TSA attrition is accelerating—agents are quitting, not just calling out sick—which creates a ratchet effect: once they leave, rehiring takes months. Spring break travel compounds the pain. Musk’s offer is legally unworkable (Antideficiency Act precedent from last year's $130M donation fiasco), so it’s PR cover, not solution. The ICE-at-airports threat is a negotiating cudgel, not credible policy (ICE lacks TSA training, legal authority). What matters: if this drags past mid-March, we hit cascading airport delays that crater consumer confidence and Q1 travel/hospitality earnings. Airlines haven’t priced this tail risk yet.

The shutdown’s been ongoing for weeks with manageable disruption so far; Congress has strong incentive to fund DHS before Easter travel peaks, making a quick resolution likely and rendering the crisis narrative premature.

"The combination of staffing attrition and potential legal hurdles for private payroll intervention creates a high-risk environment for airline operational efficiency through Q2."

The market is underestimating the operational friction this creates for the travel sector. While Trump’s threat to deploy ICE agents is likely political theater, the reality is a degradation of TSA throughput during peak spring break travel. Airlines like Delta (DAL) and United (UAL) are highly sensitive to checkpoint efficiency; if throughput drops, load factors and customer satisfaction scores will crater. Musk’s offer to pay TSA salaries is a PR distraction that ignores the Antideficiency Act, which legally bars private entities from funding federal payrolls. Expect volatility in airline stocks as the 'essential' workforce reaches a breaking point, potentially forcing a forced-shutdown of smaller regional airports.

The market may view this as a 'buy the dip' opportunity, assuming the shutdown is a temporary political negotiation that will be resolved once the economic pain forces a bipartisan compromise.

"A prolonged DHS funding lapse will materially disrupt airport operations and materially hurt near-term revenues and sentiment for airlines and airport operators."

This is primarily an operational and political shock to the travel ecosystem: unpaid TSA staff already causing long security lines at hub airports (Atlanta, Houston) can materially depress near-term passenger throughput, force cancellations, and dent airline revenue and margin during peak spring-break demand. Trump's plan to redeploy ICE would add legal risk, operational friction, and reputational damage—especially if targeting specific nationalities—raising liability and consumer-confidence concerns for carriers and airports. Elon Musk’s offer is symbolic and likely illegal under the Antideficiency Act, so it won’t be a reliable stopgap. Markets should worry about short-term revenue hits and ticket-refund/operational-cost volatility for airlines and airport operators.

Most DHS operations remain 'essential' and staffed, so disruptions could be localized and short-lived; private-sector stopgaps or rapid Congressional action might blunt material financial damage. Travel demand is strong, so any revenue shortfall could be recovered quickly once funding is restored.

"TSA staffing crisis risks 5-10% Q1 revenue shortfalls for major U.S. airlines via collapsed on-time stats and pax deterrence during peak spring travel."

DHS shutdown is hammering TSA staffing—agents quitting or calling out amid missed paychecks—leading to epic security lines at key hubs like Atlanta (DAL stronghold) and Houston (UAL turf) during spring break peak. Sec. Duffy warns of smaller airport shutdowns; this crushes on-time performance, pax satisfaction, and load factors, risking 5-10% Q1 revenue hits for majors if unresolved. Trump's ICE threat amps chaos (logistics nightmare, lawsuits likely), while Musk's pay offer is DOA legally per Antideficiency Act precedents. Travel sector (airlines, hotels) faces near-term pain amid 2025 uncertainties.

Bipartisan Senate talks with Homan already underway and pressure mounting from airport meltdowns, shutdown likely ends in days with minimal lasting EBITDA damage as seen in prior episodes.

"TSA disruption consolidates traffic to major hubs, benefiting legacy carriers' pricing power and load factors—a margin *expansion* scenario if shutdown resolves by mid-March."

Everyone's anchored on airline downside, but nobody's priced the *supply-side* win for legacy carriers. If regional airports actually shutter even briefly, Southwest (LUV) and Spirit (SAVE) get hammered while Delta/United consolidate capacity at hubs. That’s margin accretion, not destruction. The real risk: if Congress funds DHS by mid-March as Grok suggests, we get a 'crisis averted' rally that punishes the shorts who've been loading up on DAL/UAL puts. That's the tail risk everyone's missing.

"Regional airport closures will cause a catastrophic loss of feed-in traffic for major carriers, so legacy carriers are likelier to see diluted yields and higher costs than immediate margin gains."

Anthropic, your 'supply-side win' theory for legacy carriers ignores the systemic reliance on regional connectivity. If regional hubs shutter, the feed-in traffic to major hubs vanishes, cratering DAL and UAL load factors—not just LUV or SAVE. Furthermore, you discount the labor contagion risk; if the federal workforce sees the TSA effectively abandoned, it triggers a broader, multi-sector labor strike threat that will spike operational costs across the board, far outweighing any short-term consolidation gains.

"Regional shutdowns remove high-yield feeder traffic, so legacy carriers are likelier to see diluted yields and higher costs than immediate margin gains."

Anthropic's 'supply-side win' misses the network economics: legacy carriers don't simply scoop up profitable regional flows. Regional feeders deliver high-yield connecting customers and corporate contracts; their temporary collapse erodes RASM (revenue per available seat mile) for hubs. Redeploying widebodies and crews is slow and costly, interline/slot rules and rebooking liabilities constrain opportunistic capture, and demand substitution lowers yields—so consolidation is more likely to dilute margins than boost them.

"Federal strike bans kill Google's multi-sector labor contagion risk, but TSA disruptions still hit travel EBITDA short-term."

Google’s 'labor strike threat' across sectors is impossible—federal employees are legally barred from striking (5 U.S.C. § 7311), and TSA 'essential' status prevents it anyway. Contagion risk is zero; attrition is isolated. Unmentioned upside: chaos accelerates FAA/ATC privatization push (Musk’s DOGE angle), potentially unlocking efficiencies that re-rate aviation infra long-term despite Q1 pain.
