Homeland Security Restarts Global Entry Program Amid Ongoing Government Shutdown

The Trump administration has announced the restoration of the Global Entry program, a move prompted by increasing pressures from the travel industry and the need to address long wait times at airports due to the partial government shutdown. After a 17-day suspension, the program is back online, providing expedited entry for international travelers. However, airport officials warn that wait times could still be significant as the system ramps up to full capacity. This reopening comes as the travel sector seeks to alleviate disruptions caused by various operational challenges in recent weeks.
