President Donald Trump announced Thursday he will use executive action to pay 50,000 airport security workers amid a partial government shutdown that has caused staffing shortages and record wait times at airports nationwide. The move comes as Congress has failed to advance funding for the Department of Homeland Security, and nearly 500 TSA officers have quit since the shutdown began in February.
