DHS suspends trusted-traveler programs TSA PreCheck and Global Entry as shutdown drags on
The Department of Homeland Security is temporarily halting TSA PreCheck and Global Entry, two of the most widely used trusted-traveler programs in the United States, due to the ongoing partial government shutdown.
The suspension affects enrollment and renewal processes, with services paused for the duration of the funding gap.
Travelers who rely on these programs should expect delays or interruptions in eligibility processing once funds are restored.
