US Transportation Security Administration forced out by Trump
The head of the U.S. Transportation Security Administration was forced out of office on Monday and will be replaced by President Donald Trump’s new administration. TSA Administrator David Pekoske, who oversaw a workforce of 60,000 employees providing security at U.S. airports and other transportation hubs, left office on Monday. Pekoske, a former vice commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security official, was first appointed to a five-year term by Trump in 2017 and reconfirmed for a second term in 2022 under then-President Joe Biden.
