"ICE agents have been deployed at 14 airports to assist TSA agents during the government shutdown, with reports of their presence at San Francisco International Airport, where they restrained a woman and her daughter."
"The deployment of ICE agents follows weeks of congressional fighting over funding for the Department of Homeland Security, with Democrats refusing to fund ICE without operational changes."
"Airport spokesperson Kaley Skantz confirmed that OAK has not been advised of any ICE deployments or operational changes, while private contractors continue to staff security checkpoints."
ICE agents have been deployed to assist TSA agents at 14 airports during the government shutdown, but not in the San Francisco Bay Area. Reports indicate that ICE agents restrained a woman and her daughter at San Francisco International Airport, although officials stated it was unrelated to the deployment. The deployment follows congressional disputes over funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Airport officials confirmed no ICE deployments at Oakland or San Francisco airports, and private contractors continue to staff security checkpoints.
