As the partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security enters its sixth week, Americans continue to feel the strain at airports, where TSA agents are going without pay. Today, President Trump says he’s deploying federal immigration agents to airports to help staff checkpoints.

Meanwhile, it’s unclear when the Senate might strike a deal to end the shutdown. To restore funding for DHS, Senate Republicans need votes from Democrats, who are holding out for a deal that includes reforms to immigration enforcement, but both sides remain far apart.

Speaking to ABC’s “This Week,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he expects that, without paychecks, TSA agents will take other jobs to pay rent and other expenses. He says the situation could get "much worse."
