Over 1,000 U.S. Transportation Security Administration officers have left the agency since \u200bthe start of the ongoing Department of \u200cHomeland Security shutdown that began in mid-February, the DHS said on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are some details:
The figure stood at \u200b460 in the last week of March \u200band more than 780 as of last week, \u2060the DHS said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lengthy government shutdown this \u200bspring forced the 50,000 TSA workers to go without \u200bpay for six weeks, resulting in major disruptions, including airport security waits extending four hours or more at some \u200bairports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TSA employees handle screening at nearly all U.S. \u200bairports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrats have held up funding for DHS, which oversees TSA, \u200cwhile \u2060demanding a change in rules governing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which is also part of DHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICE has been the face of Republican \u200bPresident\u00a0Donald Trump’s<\/a>\u00a0immigration \u200bcrackdown that \u2060rights advocates and Democrats have criticized over what they call violations of \u200bfree speech and due process rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rights advocates \u200balso \u2060say the crackdown has created an unsafe environment,\u00a0particularly for minorities<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump casts the crackdown as necessary to \u2060improve domestic \u200bsecurity and reduce illegal immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier \u200bthis month, Trump\u00a0proposed to privatize<\/a>\u00a0much of TSA’s operations and \u200bcut nearly 10,000 employees.
