Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers will begin operations at airports nationwide starting Monday, according to a presidential announcement.
The administration has confirmed plans to position ICE personnel at airport facilities, though specific details about the extent and objectives of these deployments have not been fully disclosed.
NPR correspondent Luke Garrett is working to gather additional information about what travelers can expect from this new enforcement initiative.
The timing and scope of the airport operations represent a significant shift in immigration enforcement strategy, though officials have not yet provided comprehensive details about how the deployments will affect airport operations or passenger experiences.
