Trump thanks TSA agents during partial government shutdown and missed paycheck

President Trump acknowledged TSA agents working without pay during the partial government shutdown, which has led to increased absences and resignations among the workforce. He criticized the radical left for not honoring a congressional deal and urged TSA employees to continue their efforts. The shutdown, now affecting 50,000 transportation security officers, has caused significant delays at airports, with some incidents of violence reported in response to the situation. Federal prosecutors are taking a firm stance against assaults on TSA personnel.
