I just signed a discharge petition, which would force a vote on legislation to pay our TSA agents, our Coast Guard, & FEMA workers. Our federal workers shouldn’t be held hostage because Republicans won’t come to the table to rein in ICE’s lawless operations.

Espaillat: They are two separate agencies, and there is no reason ICE should hold the pay of TSA agents hostage.

The only reason TSA agents are going without pay right now is because Republicans are holding their paychecks hostage so they can shovel more money at ICE and CBP. That's absurd. Republicans need to stop blocking our bill to pay TSA & start getting serious about basic ICE reforms.

Democrats are once again forcing our TSA agents to work without pay for the THIRD time in six months — including in Baltimore, where many agents and their families are being forced to live off of food drives. This is disgraceful: Democrats must stop holding the paychecks of our TSA officers hostage and REOPEN DHS.

The Senate passed a bill to fund all of DHS except ICE and Border Patrol. And we did it with the unanimous consent of ALL 100 SENATORS. Speaker Johnson refused to vote on this bill and chose to continue holding TSA hostage and to continue Trump's chaos.

I have voted 15 times to fund DHS, pay our TSA Agents, and keep our nation secure. What the Democrats are doing is unfair to those who serve our communities, and we must end this shutdown now.

Trump just said the quiet part out loud. He told Republicans to block a deal that would pay TSA agents, so he could force the SAVE Act through. I hope TSA workers realize Trump is holding their paychecks hostage.

Every day Democrats go the Senate floor to try to open TSA. Every day Republicans block our legislation. Why? Because Republicans are holding TSA hostage to get another blank check for ICE. Release the hostage! Open TSA!

We know what over-criminalization does to vulnerable communities. That tired approach has not lead to safer cities. We are going to continue doing what works: providing more opportunities for our young people, while holding them accountable when they act outside the confines of the law.

Instead of needlessly stationing armed ICE agents at our airports, Republicans and Trump should just pay TSA. It's that simple. And if Republicans would stop blocking us, we could fund TSA, FEMA, and more TODAY.

Republicans are holding TSA and other agencies paychecks hostage because of ICE. Let’s set ICE aside while we negotiate, and fund everything else today.
