US EditionTom Homan says ICE will remain assisting TSA "until the airports feel like they are 100%"
ICE officers support TSA at U.S. airports to reduce wait times and manage logistics during a partial DHS shutdown lasting over 40 days, according to ICE official Tom Homan.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump deployed ICE officers to U.S. airports to assist with crowd control and identification checks amid severe TSA staffing shortages during the partial government shutdown.
- The partial government shutdown has left TSA agents without pay for over a month, worsening when 500 agents quit since the shutdown began.
- Tom Homan, the Trump administration border czar, said ICE agents will assist "until the airports feel like they are 100%," confirming they check IDs but do not perform X-ray analysis.
- Democrats continue to reject budget bills that fund ICE operations without reforms, creating legislative deadlock as the House passed a 60-day funding extension and the Senate remains divided.
- TSA agents are expected to receive paychecks later this week, though Homan noted the duration of the ICE deployment depends on how many TSA officials return to work.
