""We have not heard anything official from TSA leadership that ICE would be coming to any airport in New England. However, we are making inquiries.""
""The New England region has not experienced the same problems as other parts of the country and so we do not see such a move as something that's necessary at this time.""
""Massport confirmed Sunday that Logan has 'not seen any impacts to the checkpoints due to the ongoing shutdown' and said it had no information on ICE agents going to Logan.""
Logan Airport has not experienced delays like other major hubs, but federal immigration agents may be ordered to airports by President Trump. The partial government shutdown has led to over 400 TSA workers quitting due to unpaid work. Trump plans to deploy ICE agents to arrest illegal immigrants unless funding for DHS is secured. TSA union president Mike Gayzagian stated there is no official word on ICE's presence at Logan, but inquiries are ongoing. Massport confirmed no impacts on security checkpoints at Logan due to the shutdown.
