Nearly 300 Transportation Security Administration Agents Quit Amid Ongoing U.S. Department of Homeland Security Shutdown

#wqeb973newz | Atlanta,GA-✈️ Nearly 300 employees with the Transportation Security Administration have left their jobs as the partial government shutdown impacting the U.S. Department of Homeland Security enters its fourth week.

Officials say many TSA agents have already missed both a partial paycheck and a full paycheck, with call-outs among workers reportedly doubling since the shutdown began.

The funding lapse began in mid-February amid political disagreements in Washington over immigration policy. Officials have not yet said how the staffing losses could impact airport security operations nationwide.
