Federal immigration agents will “hate” being deployed to assist airport security operations amid Transportation Security Administration (TSA) staffing shortages, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official told Newsweek.
“The HSI agents will hate it,” the official said, referring to Homeland Security Investigations personnel. “I’ve not heard any talk of this within ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations). They want us arresting and deporting aliens.”
The official, who requested anonymity to speak freely, said they first heard about the reassignment when they were contacted by Newsweek over the weekend.

Papers! Where are your papers! Schnell! SCHNELL!!!
The hate goes both ways
I’m sure this will lower the tension and angst people feel at airport tremendously…
They cant wear mask
In the pics I saw of today, they were unmasked and about 50/50 had guns, some even had AR maga despite not having an AR.
That being said it’s almost a guarantee people would take pictures when they see a gun so that may be over represented in the pictures.
The World Cup is gonna be a shit show
Ehhhh - I was looking forward to being frisked by someone at airport security with an edgy “ripped American flag” graphic face cover and I think there’s still a 50/50 chance of that happening.
Remember, the mask doesn’t prevent deep and sustained eye contact while they’re grabbing your junk. Make it weird.
