AI Summary

medium article 2 min

The Trump administration is deploying ICE agents to U.S. airports starting Monday to assist TSA agents amid long security lines caused by a partial government shutdown. Tom Homan will lead the effort, with ICE officers potentially guarding exits and performing other security tasks to free up TSA agents for screening duties. The move comes as over 400 TSA agents have left their jobs since the shutdown began, and others are calling out sick, leading to significant delays. Senate Democrats have blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees TSA, due to concerns about immigration enforcement and recent killings of U.S. citizens by immigration agents. The specific responsibilities of the ICE agents are still being finalized.
