TSA shuts down Global Entry while partial government shutdown remains in effect
The Transportation Security Administration announced that the Global Entry program will be shut down for the duration of the partial government shutdown. This move affects trusted traveler screening for expedite processing at airports.
Officials said enrollment processing and interviews for Global Entry are paused until funding is restored and the government reopens fully. Travelers with existing Global Entry benefits should still be able to use the program as usual at enrollment centers when open.
The shutdown continues to impact various federal services, with TSA citing funding gaps as the reason for suspending Global Entry operations. No timeline was given for resumption of the program.
