ICE to Backfill TSA at Airports as Security Delays Persist
TL;DR Summary
Border czar Tom Homan says ICE agents will be deployed to major airports to aid TSA by handling non-screening duties (e.g., guarding exits) to speed passenger flow, while ICE continues enforcement. The move, prompted by long lines and a government shutdown funding clash, aims to ease TSA workload without training TSA staff, with DHS planning discussions ongoing and more details to follow amid Democratic push for immigration policy concessions and warrants discussions.
