Trump blames Democrats for DHS shutdown

Since the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown began on February 14, more than 1,110 TSA officers have resigned, a spokesperson confirmed to POLITICO. The mass exodus underscores a deepening crisis within the agency, raising serious concerns about airport security staffing and operational readiness. The resignations are a direct consequence of the ongoing funding lapse, which has left many federal employees without pay. This attrition rate threatens to exacerbate travel disruptions and weaken the frontline of U.S. transportation security.
