US President Donald Trump signed an order on Friday directing the government to pay the salaries of airport security personnel, following the stagnation of a bill in Congress that would fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Although Trump ordered the payment of salaries to employees of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) under DHS, this move may face legal and political challenges. The Senate reached an agreement earlier on Friday to end the 40-day partial shutdown of the US government, but the House of Representatives refused to pass the agreement. As Congress is about to enter a two-week recess, the possibility of funding the DHS, including TSA personnel, seems unlikely.
