Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel have been dispatched to airports throughout the nation to support Transportation Security Administration operations during the ongoing partial government shutdown. The deployment delivers on President Donald Trump’s commitment to provide additional resources as security checkpoint delays mount nationwide.
The government shutdown has resulted in extended waiting periods at airport security screening areas across the United States, prompting the decision to bring in federal immigration agents as backup support.
The Associated Press has compiled a collection of photographs documenting the presence of ICE agents at various airport locations.
