Matt BlazeIf I understand correctly, the ICE agents assigned to the TSA aren’t actually screening passengers or baggage. They’re just standing around providing “security” (something the airport police already were doing).
What a joke.
Of course, jokes are supposed to be amusing. This is just stupid.
Come On Giant Asteroid!To be fair, that is the current regime's SOP.
Rob Ricci@mattblaze honestly, might get some of them to quit. They signed up for permission to be much more violent than this
Tony@ricci @mattblaze I mean, I imagine that this has got to be putting a big damper on the tourism industry, right? Who would voluntarily share space with these folks?
@longhairmoto @mattblaze I'd imagine it'll take a while for that to fully play out, but yeah
Paul_IPv6about the only "good" thing i can say about this is that at least they aren't out on the streets wearing masks.
still a spectactular waste of taxes and a horrible precedent for their use as TACO's private army, subject only to his whims.
James M.@mattblaze I hope people are taking lots of pictures of the ICE agents' faces.
IcooIey@mattblaze even worse, they are getting paid to stand there watching people do the actual work who are not getting paid.
Hans van Zijst@Matt Blaze It's probably an attempt by the orange regime to maneuver their Brownshirts into positions where they can harass and arrest foreigners as soon as they enter the US.
Maybe they plan to get some training for when the FIFA World Championship begins, and lots and lots of foreigners who may be critical of Krasnov arrive.

Matt Franz@mattblaze Better standing around in airports than terrorizing people in blue states and cities 🤷
@mattblaze intimidation, and ICE has gotten a pretty abusive reputation. What more do you need to signal police state?
Don Hawkins - W7DAH@mattblaze @GhostOnTheHalfShell Yup, the entire tRump regime is a joke … a bad joke.
Nonya Bidniss@mattblaze Standing around getting paid to do nothing while the people doing the work are not getting paid.
People can get pictures of their faces finally and maybe even some badges, so at least there's that.
mrpeterdominick@mattblaze flew out of IAH this morning and saw some ICE agents while waiting in line. It appeared that there only job was to hoist up their tactical vests with their thumbs, because they did little else that I could see.
Gondor@mattblaze
My Guess:
For now they are there to normalise their appearance.
But it is exactly the police state environment you are supposed to get used to.
Don't.
Giflian@mattblaze "the cruelty is the point"
Steve Bellovin@mattblaze Just like the National Guard in DC…
Dave Wilburn 
Hey, at least the National Guard did some landscaping work. I kinda doubt ICE are gonna pick up any rakes.
Jay Thoden van Velzen ☁️🛡️
@mattblaze soooo... there will be paid staff doing nothing but stand around, while those doing the real work don't get paid?
i can see the 'friendships' developing already....
Quasit@mattblaze
That's VERY unfair to say! They're also grabbing mothers away from their children and beating the crap out of them in front of their children's eyes. That's CRITICAL to defending America from...um...mothers! And children.

Steve Bannon admits Trump sent ICE to airports as 'test run' for midterms
MAGA influencer Steve Bannon argued that President Donald Trump deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to airports as a "5-D chess" move that would prepare them to police polling places in the 2026 midterm elections. For his part, Trump has said the ICE agents are there to "help" Transp...
