"Since February 14, Transportation Security Administration staff have worked without pay due to the ongoing partial government shutdown - and with many calling out of work, passengers across the United States have experienced hours-long security screening lines."
"According to a DHS spokesperson, the woman and her daughter were arrested at the airport and were being 'escorted to the international terminal for processing' when the woman tried to flee."
"ACLU's Blazer emphasized that while CBP has a lot of 'power when they're screening people coming in on an international flight,' that doesn't apply to domestic flights."
The partial government shutdown has resulted in TSA agents working without pay, causing significant travel disruptions and long security lines at airports. President Trump announced the deployment of ICE agents to assist at airports. An incident at San Francisco International Airport involved ICE officers arresting a woman in front of her child, raising concerns about the authority of immigration officers at domestic flights. The ACLU highlighted that CBP and ICE cannot check electronic devices without a warrant for domestic travel.
