MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, FLA. (WSVN) – Miami International Airport has confirmed to 7News it will not air a video message from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that blames Democrats for the ongoing federal government shutdown and its impact on Transportation Security Administration operations.<\/p>\n

In a statement to 7News, MIA spokesperson Greg Chin said the airport will continue showing TSA\u2019s Real ID awareness video instead, in keeping with Miami-Dade County policy prohibiting political messaging inside the terminal. <\/p>\n

\u201cAt MIA, we deeply value and support our TSA partners and the vital role they play in ensuring the safety of our passengers every day. To be consistent with Miami-Dade County policy regarding messaging within the MIA terminal, MIA will instead continue playing TSA\u2019s existing Real ID awareness video.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greg Chin, Communications Division Director<\/p>\n

Airports across the country<\/a>, including those in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix and Seattle, have also refused to air the video, citing similar rules against political content. <\/p>\n

In the video, Noem says Democrats in Congress are to blame for the shutdown, which she claims has affected federal operations and left many TSA employees working without pay. <\/p>\n

Critics argue the message could violate the Hatch Act, which restricts political activity by federal employees. <\/p>\n
