The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will suspend frequent flier and expedited processing programs, including TSA PreCheck and Global Entry, starting Sunday at 6 a.m. ET due to a funding shutdown. Secretary Kristi Noem attributed the lack of funding to congressional Democrats, emphasizing that the shutdown threatens national security and affects DHS personnel. While some federal employees will work unpaid, critical services will continue, with a focus on the general traveling public. Non-disaster responses by FEMA will cease amid ongoing severe weather forecasts.
