President Donald Trump expressed appreciation for Transportation Security Administration agents and urged them to "go to work" amid the partial government shutdown that has left TSA employees working without pay.
Trump thanked working TSA agents on social media March 15, calling them "great" while also blaming "Radical Left Democrats" for the lack of pay.
"Keep fighting for the USA. GO TO WORK!" Trump wrote in the March 15 post on Truth Social. "I promise that I will never forget you!!!"
Trump's message comes as airports across the United States see long security lines and TSA agents continue working without pay, with Friday, March 13 marking the first time workers missed their full paychecks.
The wait times and pay changes are a result of a partial shutdown that began in mid-February after Congress failed to pass funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees TSA.
