Trump Administration Deploying ICE Agents to Airports Amid Shutdown-Induced Delays
The Trump administration is sending ICE agents to over a dozen major airports to help alleviate security bottlenecks caused by the ongoing partial government shutdown. The Department of Homeland Security, without funding for over a month, has hit airport operations hard, with over four hundred TSA workers quitting and thousands more working without paychecks. This has led to massive delays, with travelers facing up to three-hour lines at major airports. Passengers are expressing frustration, with some airports seeing lines snaking outside terminals and into parking lots. Officials warn that if staffing continues to drop, some airports might have to close down, disrupting holiday travel for millions. ICE agents are stepping in for basic tasks like crowd control and guarding exits, with plans to spread to more terminals as early as Monday. Federal teams are monitoring the situation, ready to adjust as needed to keep flights moving amid the uncertainty.
