Trump tells unpaid TSA to 'go to work' as shutdown drags on
TL;DR Summary
President Donald Trump thanked TSA agents and urged them to “go to work” amid a partial government shutdown that has left TSA employees unpaid. About 50,000 TSA officers are still on duty without regular pay as airport security lines grow longer and DHS funding remains stalled in Congress. Airlines CEOs are pressing Congress to fund DHS immediately to alleviate pay gaps and delays. The shutdown began in mid-February, with March 13 marking the first time many TSA workers missed a full paycheck.
