We’ll see if it really happens. And how fast it happens.

Lawmakers are still at an impasse over funding for the Department of Homeland Security – which includes the budget for the Transportation Security Administration.

But on Thursday, President Trump said he will sign an emergency order to get paychecks to TSA employees who have been working without pay at U.S. airports for weeks.

There was no official word from the White House on where the funds would come from and how much funding would be made available.

But sources told the New York Times that Trump will likely tap funds provided to the Department of Homeland Security last year as part of his tax and domestic policy law.

In response to the news, Everett Kelley, National President of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) said in part:

“The 47,000 TSA officers represented by AFGE will finally be paid, and we are grateful that action was taken to make that happen… We don’t yet know what this means for thousands of other DHS employees at FEMA, the Coast Guard, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, among others.”
