What happened

Global Entry is reopening across the board as of 5 AM ET on March 11, 2026, after being suspended for 17 days. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the suspension on February 22, 2026, citing resource prioritization during the partial government shutdown. While TSA PreCheck was reversed almost immediately, Global Entry remained closed for over two weeks. The program now restores access to expedited immigration screening for travelers returning to the United States
