Even as the Trump administration moves to restore pay for TSA workers, it appears that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents may not be leaving airports anytime soon.
According to comments from White House border czar Tom Homan, ICE personnel deployed to assist at airport security checkpoints could remain in place well beyond the immediate crisis.
ICE agents were initially deployed as a stopgap measure during the Department of Homeland Security funding lapse, which left TSA officers working without pay and triggered widespread staffing shortages. At the height of the disruption, hundreds of TSA workers quit and thousands more called out, leading to hours-long security lines across the country.
