Trump determines that the Department of Homeland Security's "shutdown" constitutes an emergency.

Golden Finance reported that on March 28, according to a memorandum released by the White House on the 27th, President Trump determined that the Department of Homeland Security’s more than 40-day “shutdown” constituted an “emergency threatening national security,” and instructed the Secretary of Homeland Security to coordinate with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to use funds that are “logically related” to the operations of the Transportation Security Administration to pay salaries and benefits to airport security personnel who have not received pay since February.
