Noem airs clip blasting Democrats for government shutdown at every airport in America

"We will continue to do all that we can to avoid delays that will impact you," Noem added. "Our hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the importance of opening the government."

Should the shutdown continue beyond the two-week mark, TSA employees will miss out on a paycheck. While backpay is ensured after a government shutdown through the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019, that does not mean employees will have to wait extended periods of time to receive earned payment. 

TSA employees in the field or working at airports are currently not receiving pay. 

As of Thursday, operations at airports have not been significantly impacted, but as the shutdown continues, sources at TSA say an increase in employees calling off work could increase and create longer wait times at airports across the U.S. 

The federal government shut down on Oct. 1 at midnight after legislation to extend funding through Nov. 21 failed in the Senate. 

Negotiations between Democrats and Republicans have heated up as six different votes have failed since the start of the shutdown. 

House Speaker Mike Johnson, who says he spoke with Trump on Wednesday night, blasted Schumer and said Democrats have "reduced political pain to a prop."
