(CNN) The difficulties facing government employees forced to work without pay during the shutdown didn't simply disappear when President Donald Trump reopened the government for three weeks on Friday.
Many of these approximately 450,000 federal employees were forced to pull from savings or find other ways to stretch their dollars as the shutdown stretched on for 35 days. Now, they must still wait for their back pay to arrive and wait to see the extended effects of those missed paychecks.
Despite the battle on Capitol Hill, federal employees nationwide continued to do their jobs. Here are some of the stories of those who had to work during the longest government shutdown in US history:
Transportation Security Administration
Coast Guard
Customs and Border Protection
Border Patrol
Citizenship and Immigration Services
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
FBI
Secret Service
Federal Bureau of Prisons
Federal Aviation Administration
Internal Revenue Service
