BREAKING: The Democrats are furious after realizing American travelers by-and-large LOVE having ICE assisting TSA lines in airports

One woman realized the fake news propaganda was wrong!

“I WAS concerned…but they’re not bothering us, so let’s get it done!” 🔥

“I like that they’re here. It’s allowing us to move and get to where we need to go.”

“As long as they can help us move a little bit faster, maybe they can take some of the work off TSA agents. I’m ALL FOR IT.”

Tom Homan reveals the full scope of ICE’s role in airports as passengers suffer wait-time mayhem around US
Border Czar Tom Homan promised that ICE agents would be able to both assist at airports and continue their efforts in carrying out Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Homan spoke about what federal immigration officers’ duties would be as they arrived at airports on Monday.

‘We’re filling the holes, the wait lines have already dropped. We’re going to be at the airports and work with our brothers and sisters at TSA,’ he told Fox News, as part of Trump’s pledge to deploy them to help during a partial government shutdown.

‘We’re going to keep the airplanes flying, we’re going to get the American people through those lines quicker.’

Homan – who called Trump’s idea ‘a smart move’ – also said his agents will serve as security against people threatening national security.

‘We’re doing a security function at the airports. We’re gonna arrest criminals going through airports, we’re gonna look for human trafficking, sex trafficking, money smuggling’ he said.

Ultimately, Homan said ICE will ‘not give up President Trump’s promise to the American people to make this country safer every day and that’s what we’re going to keep doing.’

Factcheck:

Transportation Security Administration is the agency in charge of passenger and baggage screening at checkpoints. That includes checking IDs, scanning passengers, and inspecting carry-ons.

ICE has a different role. They focus on immigration enforcement and related investigations. At airports, their presence is usually tied to enforcement operations, coordination with other agencies, or providing additional federal personnel when needed.

In situations where airports are under strain, ICE staff can help take on support or enforcement-related tasks, which can indirectly free up TSA officers to stay focused on screening lines. But they are not trained or authorized to take over TSA’s core screening function.

So even if ICE is present at an airport, the checkpoint process, screening procedures, and passenger flow are still managed by TSA, not ICE.
