How to Keep ICE Agents Out of Your Phone at the Airport

If you’re traveling through an airport, follow these digital security practices to keep CBP or ICE from getting into your phone.

The Intercept

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement have already started targeting travelers, with agents in plain clothes forcefully detaining a mother in front of her young daughter at San Francisco International Airport on Sunday after a tip from the Transportation Security Administration."

I don't think the tsa is at sfo. They use a private contractor for tsa functions. Is the quote made-up?

The part you quoted isn’t about TSA. TSA and ICE are not the same.
The quote literally contains the string "Transportation Security Administration" in it.

But the actor in the quote - the people who had to be at the airport to do the detaining - is ICE.

The TSA tip didn't have to come from someone physically sitting in the airport.
