DHS employee says department reached "breaking point" with shutdown

A Department of Homeland Security employee told CBS News homeland security correspondent Nicole Sganga that the department has reached a "breaking point" due to the partial government shutdown. This statement comes after 69 days of the shutdown, during which multiple DHS workers expressed feeling forgotten. The prolonged shutdown is taking a significant toll on federal employees responsible for national security and border protection. This situation highlights the strain on critical government functions and the morale of essential personnel operating without full pay or resources. The sentiment from DHS employees underscores the human impact of the ongoing budgetary impasse.
