TSA workers at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport are being asked to return $250,000 in gift cards handed out by Tyler Perry last week.
The actor and filmmaker initially tried to aid unpaid TSA officers with cash before distributing gift cards to comply with federal rules.
Nonetheless, employees—who are set to receive their first paycheck in weeks following an executive action signed by President Trump on Friday—have since been informed that federal ethics rules restrict government employees from accepting certain gifts tied to their official positions.
Perry's donation comes as tens of thousands of TSA officers continue to work without pay amid the partial government shutdown.
Hundreds of TSA officers have quit since the shutdown began in mid-February.
Plus, with call-out rates surpassing 10 percent in recent days, travelers have been faced with daunting security lines at airports nationwide amid the busy spring break season.
