Congressman Al Green Releases Statement on TSA, DHS Funding Bill

(Washington, D.C.) - On Friday, March 27, 2026, Congressman Al Green released the following statement:

"Once again, Republicans are refusing to pay TSA workers. They reject reasonable compromise and expect unreasonable capitulation. They continue to choose one-party rule over bipartisanship, notwithstanding the fact that the Senate bill does not contain needed reforms which would subject ICE to the same rules other law enforcement agencies follow. I would place the TSA workers (people) above Republican politics and support the Senate compromise bill. This has gone on more than 40 days too long. In solidarity with the struggling TSA workers, I will continue to have my pay withheld until the TSA workers are paid. In addition, I am currently exploring legislation to give the TSA workers a 15% starting salary pay raise to keep the workforce we have and attract new workers. TSA workers have suffered an injustice that we should correct."
