U.S. airports could face a new wave of long security lines as early as May after the nation's homeland security chief said on Tuesday that he will run out of money to pay for 50,000 workers due to a partial government shutdown. President Donald Trump in late March directed DHS to use emergency funds to pay Transportation Security Administration workers who had gone without paychecks for about six weeks, causing disruptions at U.S. airports. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told "Fox and Friends" on Tuesday that the money would run out by early May. "That money is dried up if I continue down this path the first week of May, because my payroll at DHS is just over $1.6 billion every two weeks," Mullin said. He said after the next paycheck, "There is no more emergency fund, so the president can't do another executive order for us to use money, because there's no more money there." TSA workers also went unpaid for six weeks last autumn during an earlier partial government shutdown. Airlines for America CEO Chris Sununu told Reuters on Tuesday Congress has to move fast to get DHS funded. "You cannot ask these (TSA officers) to go through this a third time," said Sununu, who heads the group representing American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and others. In March, the weeks-long standoff in Congress caused security lines at some airports to exceed four hours, the longest in the TSA's nearly 25-year history. More than ​500 TSA ⁠officers have quit since mid-February. Senate Republicans will move forward this week on ​a budget blueprint that would boost funding for DHS agencies for ‌the next three years, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said as Congress aims to end a partial shutdown of DHS. Democrats have pushed for a series ​of new constraints on ICE and Border Patrol, which operate under the direction of DHS, before authorizing additional ​funds. They have argued that ICE and Border Patrol should be subject to the same operational rules as police forces across the ‌United States, ⁠including a requirement that agents obtain judicial warrants before they enter private homes.

The Trump administration will require all 50 states to explain their plans to revalidate some of their Medicaid providers in a national escalation of anti-fraud efforts that have so far largely focused on specific states, Dr. Mehmet Oz said Tuesday. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Administrator said during a Politico health care summit that his agency plans to ask states to “own” the problem of health care fraud this week with requests for states to share their strategies within 30 days. “It's an example of what we'd like them to do to prove that they're serious about this,” Oz said onstage Tuesday. “And if you don't take it seriously, it indicates to us that we might have to take the audits that we're doing to the different states more aggressively,” he said, without elaborating. Tuesday's announcement is part of a federal campaign to tackle waste, fraud and abuse in federal Medicaid and Medicare programs that so far has mostly targeted Democratic states — and at least once has erred in its accusations. Earlier this month, The Associated Press reported that CMS made a significant error in figures it used to help justify a fraud probe in New York. The acknowledgment deepened doubts in the administration's methods and raised a common criticism that has been made about the second Trump administration — that it tends to attack first and confirm the facts later. In addition to New York, CMS has approached at least four other states with investigations into potential health care fraud and halted some $243 million in Medicaid payments to one of them, Minnesota, over fraud concerns. It also is blocking for six months any new Medicare enrollments for suppliers of durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics or certain other supplies around the country to address the potential for fraud. In addition, federal officials made several arrests earlier this month related to alleged hospice fraud schemes in the Los Angeles area. Last month, Trump signed an executive order to create an anti-fraud task force across federal benefit programs led by Vice President JD Vance. It's unclear whether Tuesday's move is part of that effort, though Oz has been working closely with Vance on other investigations related to the task force. Asked for details on the new audit, a spokesperson for CMS said the agency was researching the AP's inquiry. Oz justified Tuesday's move by saying federal health programs in some states have enrolled large numbers of providers who aren't providing real care to patients, but instead profiting from fraud. He said the requests for states to verify the legitimacy of Medicaid providers will be focused on “high risk areas,” but didn’t explain what those entail. Asked during the Politico interview whether there was a risk that Trump administration initiatives could eliminate, slow down or harm essential health care programs, Oz said he expects the opposite. He said Medicaid and Medicare are the “crown jewels” of our nation. “I believe this audit and others like it will save the programs we care most about,” he said.
