The Metropolitan Airports Commission, which owns and operates the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, is evaluating a request from the Transportation Security Administration to play a Homeland Security video at MSP.

The video features Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the federal government shutdown.

Airports in New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas, Charlotte, Phoenix, Seattle and elsewhere say the video goes against their airport policy or regulations that prohibit political messaging in their facilities.

Various government agencies, in emails to workers and on websites, have adopted language that blames Democrats for the shutdown, with some experts arguing it could be in violation of the 1939 Hatch Act, which restricts certain political activities by federal employees.

The shutdown has disrupted routine operations and left some airports scrambling with flight delays and cancellations. Democrats say any deal to reopen the government has to address their health care demands, and Republicans say they won’t negotiate until they agree to fund the government. Insurance premiums would double if Congress fails to renew the subsidy payments that expire Dec. 31.

In a statement, MAC spokesman Jeff Lea said the video will not run at MSP while the request is under review.

In the video, Noem said “TSA’s top priority” is to make sure travelers have a “most pleasant and efficient airport experience.” She added, “However, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, many of our operations are impacted, and most of our TSA employees are working without pay.”

Lea said the MAC was grateful to federal workers supporting air transportation at the airport.
