The impacts of the record-breaking partial government shutdown are continuing to escalate.

The Transportation Security Administration reports that many of its staff have been calling out of work because they can’t afford to get there.

The TSA announced Saturday had to close one checkpoint early at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport because an excessive number of employees called out of work.

They say that, “many employees are reporting that they are not able to report to work due to financial limitations.”

TSA has been experiencing far higher unscheduled absences during the shutdown, with 8 percent of employees skipping work on Saturday compared to 3 percent a year ago.

That has forced screening area closures at some airports, including at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, where “Checkpoint A” was closed Saturday.

Still, TSA reports that, on Saturday, 99.9 percent of passengers waited less than 30 minutes and 93.8 percent waited less than 15 minutes.

President Donald Trump on Sunday appeared to threaten to target millions of people living in the country illegally if he doesn’t get funding for his border wall.

Trump tweets that, “there will be no big push to remove the 11,000,000 plus people who are here illegally,” but adds: “be careful Nancy!” He’s referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who rejected his proposal to trade wall money for temporary protections for some immigrants.

Trump is also pushing back on criticism from the right that his proposal represents “amnesty.” But he says he’s open to using “amnesty” on “a much bigger deal” down the line.

Many, including Vice President Mike Pence, have defined the word “amnesty” as permanent status or a pathway to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally.
