Trump to send ICE agents to airports as TSA employees continue to call out during partial government shutdown

President Donald Trump has said ICE agents will head to US airports tomorrow amid a partial government shutdown. Follow for live updates

CNN

“On Monday, ICE will be going to airports to help our wonderful TSA Agents who have stayed on the job despite the fact that the Radical Left Democrats, who are only focused on protecting hard line criminals who have entered our Country illegally, are endangering the USA by holding back the money that was long ago agreed to with signed and sealed contracts, and all,” #Trump falsely claimed on Truth Social.

“But watch, no matter how great a job ICE does, the Lunatics leading the incompetent Dems will be highly critical of their work. THEY WILL DO A FANTASTIC JOB. The great Tom Homan is in charge,” #Trump ranted.

The announcement follows Trump’s warning a day earlier that he would deploy #ICE agents if lawmakers failed to reach an agreement to fund the #DHS, as #TSA workers continue to go without pay & delays mount at #airports nationwide.

The ongoing #shutdown has contributed to staffing shortages among #TSA officers, leading to long lines & unpredictable wait times. Lawmakers from both parties have been working to strike a deal to reopen #DHS, but a resolution remains uncertain.

It is unclear what role #ICE agents would play at airport checkpoints, as they are NOT TRAINED in #TSA screening procedures, which typically require weeks or months of preparation. Experts & #union representatives have warned that bringing in #untrained personnel could create additional challenges, though agents could assist with limited tasks such as managing lines or directing passengers.

@Nonilex There’s equipment there that’s more complicated than a tear gas canister.
@Nonilex For more than twenty years, I flew corporate jets as a pilot. Sometimes, we'd leave the aircraft for a week or two, go home by airline and return to pick it up. It got to where I loathed the airlines. Now I don't even want to think about flying airlines anymore. Better to drive or take a train. If a trip means flying, I don't go.
@Nonilex untrained ICE agents deployed in locations with high diversity... what could possibly go wrong?
@Nonilex those goons are going to HATE sitting there and watching x-ray machines, directing lines, etc. And I'd like to be a field anthropologist watching their interactions with business class travelers.
@Nonilex This is not going to end well, is it?

@Nonilex

Chaos WILL ensue, people will get beaten up and arrested and delays and missed flights will be the new norm because 'Merica!

"Trump said Sunday that #ICE agents will be sent to #US airports Monday, with border czar Tom “Bag of Cash” Homan leading the effort"

And here it is: the gloves are finally, formally off

#ICE is nothing less than #Trump's personal #Gestapo

To be deployed and unleashed and inflicted upon the #USPublic at Trump's whim for work that has nothing to do with ICE's formal role:

#Immigration and #CustomsEnforcement

The vast majority of airport travelers are *not* new #Immigrants coming into the #UnitedStates for the first time

And #International air travelers have already been vetted at their points of departure for #Identification and #Passports

This a deliberate act of pure intimidation

This is #DonaldTrump previewing his personal military force in preparation for the upcoming #2026 #PrimaryElections and ICE assignment to #Democrat-district voting polls nationwide

Which Trump and the #Republicans intend to steal by any and all available methods

Period

Full stop

Lest we forget:

The reason why TSA isn't currently getting paid is because the GOP refuses to allow a vote on a bill that would fund all DHS agencies except ICE. Except that ICE already is massively overfunded thru the BUB!

Sean Casten -- @SeanCasten

In other words: if the @GOP just took the offer on the table, FEMA, Coast Guard, and TSA would all be funded at normal levels and ICE would have ~3x historic levels because of BUB. And yet they are demanding more in spite of an obvious lack of need.

Sean Casten -- @SeanCasten

I guess if you like wasting money and stepping on civil liberties, exposing Americans to needless risks and pissing off travellers tomorrow what they are doing makes sense. But there is no other way to justify their behavior.

@Nonilex
Gonna start killing tourists when told I'm not mad at you?
Or just when someone needs help getting through the line?
