Trump has deployed ICE agents to the nation's airports. What 's their role? - NPR
Overview
ICE agents were sent to airports amid TSA staffing problems and can enforce immigration laws in public terminal areas, but they are not trained as TSA screeners so their impact on lines is limited. New reporting that Congress provided about $75 billion for immigration enforcement last year helps explain why ICE could sustain those airport deployments through the DHS shutdown, keeping enforcement activity visible in terminals even as other DHS functions were constrained.
