As Trump Deploys ICE Agents to Airports, TSA Agents Continue to Go Without Pay: AFGE Union Steward

The partial government shutdown over funding for the Department of Homeland Security has caused major staffing shortages within the Transportation Security Administration, an agency under DHS that handles airport security procedures created in response to the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center. TSA officers have not been paid for over a month, leading to hundreds of resignations and leaves of absence. As airports are hit with significant delays, Cameron Cochems, the vice president of a union representing thousands of fellow TSA workers, urges travelers to use their time waiting to call their elected representatives “to fund the TSA so we can get our paychecks and we can get back to work.” To fill staffing shortages, DHS has deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to U.S. airports. This comes as ICE is under fire for a hiring surge with minimal vetting and training for new officers. “It really feels like they’re a Band-Aid over a gaping wound. Our officers, they’re not getting paid, and having people that come in that are getting paid just feels like an insult,” says Cochems, who adds that the ultimate goal of the Republican Party is to eliminate union protections and privatize the TSA.

Videos Show ICE Agents Violently Arresting Mother and Daughter at San Francisco Airport

Videos have emerged of ICE agents in plain clothes violently detaining a woman on Sunday inside San Francisco International Airport in front of her daughter. The woman, who is from Guatemala, is seen crying as agents pin her down before dragging and restraining her in a wheelchair. Her daughter was also reportedly in custody as the ICE agents were enforcing a removal order. Bystanders are heard asking the agents to identify themselves, with the officers refusing to say their names or show their badges.

ICE
SHOWING THE CHARACTERISTIC INCOMPETENCE OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
Mastodon Post

A tremendous amount is wrong with ICE and extreme incompetence is a prominent and important example. So, ICE domestic terrorists just staged a Keystone Cops raid in South Burlington, Vermont. ICE couldn't get its information straight. THE ICE information center, the Law Enforcement Support Center is in the ADJACENT COMMUNITY of Williston, Vermont. ICE doesn't even know its immediate neighbor. Imagine how little it knows about the rest of the United States.

Unbelievable! #ICEterrorists #antifa
