Donald Trump said Saturday he will deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to US airports on Monday if an agreement isn’t reached to fund the Department of Homeland Security amid a partial government shutdown.
It is unclear what function the ICE agents would perform since they’re not trained in airport security screening. TSA screeners have a several months-long training period before they’re on the job, though airline employees and private security companies have partnered on line controlling and guarding exit doors.
The agents could potentially help in more limited roles — like managing lines, directing passengers or helping move people through the checkpoint process — to free up trained TSA officers for critical security functions.
Isn’t he basically admitting that ICE is his private paramilitary organization?
I hate when the media sane-washes the random tweets of this dumb ass mother fucker. This article goes to great length to talk about what roles ICE could play with limited training, when Trump had 100% not put an ounce of thought into this. They should just say “Trump proposes putting ICE into the airports, which makes no fucking sense.” But instead they try to invent ways that maybe it could possibly work?
CNN is owned by right wing corpos now. It’s compromised and has been for a while.
Why, it makes. Bag everyone going in and out of the country as illegals. Grind US’s face into the ground, manufacture a crisis to make politicians cave in and fund DHS. Then, 50/50, take agents back or continue to deploy them into airports because no one can prevent it. Does it sound unlikely in March, 2026?
Honestly? If it means more ICE off the streets harassing decent people and stuck doing boring-ass airport security, then let’s go. There are only so many ICE guys to go around. It’s not the infinite respawn that he seems to think it is.
I think you’ve forgotten how xenophobic these assholes are.
They’re gonna be stopping every second person at the scanners pulling their guns and hurling them off to some concentration camp
Well, maybe people would actually realise how much the US has turned into a fascist nation and stop going there. And maybe the Americans who are wealthy enough to travel overseas can no longer overlook how bad their country had become if they have to deal with ICE, instead.
Yeah… I laughed when I saw this. Like, don’t threaten us with a good time.
…i wonder if they won’t wear masks? Everyone be sure to take lots of selfies in line.
is this an open admission that ice is just a punishment force of some kind?
Brownshirts
Always has been…

Ah yes, ICE who is famously known for helping people, de-escalating situations and assisting other authorities in performing the job those are trained for.
Ooh…. ICE at the airport? Sounds like a good opportunity to let them know our opinion of them.
Sounds like you like body cavity searches?
You’ve seen what they do to people that let them know their opinion of ICE?
“We don’t have enough line cooks to keep the restaurant open, so I’m sending in nurses to help them out”
Do you hear how dumb this sounds out loud Donny?
I’d have gone with “mouth-breathing stormtroopers” instead of “nurses”, but yeah.
Nurses are extremely important
it was an analogy, geez.
“We don’t have enough IT guys to fix these servers, send in the accountants.” Is that better?
As if I didn’t already spend hours of my life trying to explain to accountants why they cant just continue using 10 year old hosts for the core production infrastructure lol
Ok
If the nurses were SS, yes
more like “we’ve run out of nurses, so we’ll send in abbatoir workers to do the job”
Oh goodie, making tourism and its resulting spending even LESS likely! #winning!!!
Airport violence will increase with the masked ICE and fake ICE goons.
Don’t fucking go to fascist America.
Holy fucking shit how stupid are non-Americans to keep doing this?
Just disband TSA and DHS and go back to airports doing their own security. TSA has never been anything but security theater pork barrel politics.
Replacing TSA with paramilitary who have a history of murder, torture, rape, and sterilization would be worse, not better
Great, do it! That should go over really really well. 🤣 And keep them from going out and doing their gestapo duties while they’re at it.
They’ve going to continue being the Gestapo, just at the airport now.
Yep! And that’s not going to go over well with the more well-to-do business and political frequent flyers that have been either supporting trump or looking the other way for him. There’s no way ICEholes will be able to act civilized or in any other way than the outlaw thug lifestyle to which they’ve become accustomed.
I just read that Homan has confirmed they’re going to start tomorrow (Monday). I wonder if they’ll be wearing camo and masks, or will just be cosplaying in TSA uniforms. Either way, they won’t be able to hide who they are and they’ll be treating people like shit. They won’t know what to do if they can’t wave a gun in their faces to make them obey.
Do it, it will be entertaining. I can’t wait to see ICE Apes stalking through airports, harshing everyone’s vacation buzz.
Make sure to tell them to Go Fuck Yourselves as you pass them. Or ask if they fuck each other, since no woman would get near them. Or tell them that their children HATE them. That’ll hurt.
Seriously.
There’s still tourists who come to America thinking it’s not a big deal need to get a wake up call that this is a shithole country.
Yeah, well, fuck them.
You know they will just beat you, rape you, and maybe throw you in a cage for a year.
Most people won’t do that, because they don’t want to miss their flight, booked hotel, and loose their job
In an airport, with everyone watching and filming? They’re going to start beating and detaining everyone who mouths off to them? In front of families, and kids? That will last exactly 30 seconds, and that will be the end of ICE. Rich Americans aren’t going to tolerate ICE Ape violence while they are just taking their families on vacation.
Nope, they’ll have to eat every snide remark they hear, ALL DAY.
Lol wut. They literally murdered two white people in Minneapolis on camera.
A couple senators called for their abolition. A few more called for reform. The majority said it’s working as expected.
Yeah, and all Hell broke loose, just from watching it on TV. They were forced to stand down in Minnesota, and we haven’t really had as much issue with those dopes since. They certainly have calmed down a LOT. Of course their psychopath bosses were fired, and the funding cut off, so they’re flailing right now. When they get their feet back under them, they’ll come roaring back. They are too stupid to learn from their mistakes.
Lets see how families going on Spring Break and Summer Vacations react when they start seeing atrocities with their own eyes, happening in front of their children. Just seeing armed ICE Apes stalking the concourses will be disconcerting.
I remember seeing fully armed military patrolling Penn Station after 9/11. It was jarring, but I understood it was necessary to maintain security, and to calm jumpy citizens. ICE Apes aren’t necessary, so the reaction will be just jarring, with no emotional mitigation.
So put these rabid hyenas in all the airports, where citizens can get a good first-hand look at their behavior this summer, just before the mid-terms.
Oh, and when you pass them in the airport, tell them that their children back home, where they should be, raising them properly like a good father, HATE them.
Found the ICE propaganda bot
Airports have LOTS of “back room” spaces for detaining and interrogating people.
Yeah, they do now, too, but it doesn’t keep them from piling on people in the street, and beating the crap out of them. They’ll just be doing that in concourse C in front of Hudson Books in front of the kids on summer vacation.
That should be educational, learning all about their government. I know that I’d a have a lot to talk to my kid about if they just witnessed that. And it wouldn’t be about what a great job those guys are doing.
Oh boy, ICE agents in customer service roles? That should be fun.
25th… amendment.
25th requires a 2/3 vote in Congress, so unless he is in a coma, it’s not happening before the next Congressional term starts in January.
