US EditionTrump Orders ICE Agents to Assist TSA at US Airports Amid Shutdown
ICE agents will support TSA at 13 major U.S. airports to ease security delays caused by over 400 TSA resignations amid a partial Homeland Security shutdown.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced he would deploy ICE agents to assist TSA at U.S. airports starting Monday amid the shutdown, saying 'ICE will do the job far better than ever done before.'

- The House Committee on Homeland Security will hold a hearing next week as signs of progress emerge between Democrats and the White House and Elon Musk offered to pay TSA salaries.
