U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem visited the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, delivering bonus checks to select TSA officers amidst the longest government shutdown. The officers, who worked without pay, received ten-thousand-dollar checks, with some expressing gratitude for the financial help. However, the Local Eight Ninety-Nine Airport Screeners Union criticized the bonuses, deeming them illegal and bypassing local management and union involvement. The union, in response, donated over two thousand dollars to local food shelves, honoring all TSA employees who worked during the shutdown.
