ICE surge to 14 airports aims to ease TSA backlog, Bay Area untouched
TL;DR Summary
President Trump ordered ICE officers to assist TSA at 14 airports nationwide during a DHS funding lapse, with none located in the Bay Area; the move comes as TSA lines have grown amid worker absences, though San Francisco International Airport says local security relies on contractors and may feel limited impact. The airports named include Chicago O’Hare, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, Houston (Hobby and Bush), JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, and Fort Myers (as well as San Juan and others), and the list can change.
