Shutdown Deal Nears. Relief for Air Travelers, TSA Workers on the Horizon.
Transportation Security Administration agents may finally have a reason to expect a paycheck soon. Republican senators presented Democrats with their most promising deal yet on Tuesday to end the 38-day partial government shutdown that has left the security agents without pay. If passed, the deal would fund the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees TSA, but it would exclude the migrant-removal activities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, another DHS agency.
