Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday said she\u2019s giving $10,000 bonuses to \u201cexemplary\u201d Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents following the end of the government shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmericans can be proud of TSA workers across the country who continued to serve with excellence throughout the shutdown \u2014 many going to great lengths to protect our country, care for their fellow Americans, and keep our nation moving,\u201d Noem posted on the social media platform X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Trump and I are giving a $10,000 bonus to exemplary TSA officers across our nation who went above and beyond their performance,\u201d she continued. \u201cThank you to the men and women of @TSA \u2014 patriots!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noem gave out bonus checks to agents during a press conference at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, The New York Times reported. She has not defined what specifically merits the checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The checks are \u201cgreat for some,\u201d Johnny J. Jones, secretary-treasurer of the American Federation of Government Employees\u2019 TSA Council 100, the union that represents TSA officials, told the Times. He added that \u201cit\u2019s better to give everybody a little something, because they all suffered and they all endured hard times during the last 43 days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TSA agents, among other government workers across other departments, are expected to receive their next paychecks by Nov. 19, according to an Office of Management and Budget memo obtained by Semafor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noem faced pushback during the shutdown after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) played videos of the secretary blaming the shutdown on Democratic lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is TSA\u2019s top priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience possible while we keep you safe,\u201d Noem said in the video. \u201cHowever, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, many of our operations are impacted and most of our TSA employees are working without pay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some airports stopped playing the video. The Port of Portland, Ore., \u201cdid not consent to playing the video in its current form, as we believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,\u201d a spokesperson previously told The Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, Senate Democrats called on the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to investigate what they claimed were \u201cpartisan messages released to the public\u201d by federal agencies ahead of and during the government shutdown. They primarily focused on Noem\u2019s videos played at airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFederal law \u2026 prohibits agencies from using any appropriated funding, directly or indirectly, to generate publicity designed to influence Congress in supporting or opposing legislation or appropriations,\u201d the group of senators wrote to the GAO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
