"Federal immigration officers have been seen at several U.S. airports on Monday after the Trump administration said it would deploy ICE agents to ease security lines amid an ongoing partial government shutdown."
"Critics say having ICE agents at airports would increase tensions with travelers."
"A spokesperson for ICE did not immediately return a request for comment about the arrest."
"ICE agents have also been seen at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The Guardian reports ICE was seen at airports in Newark, New Orleans, and New York's John F. Kennedy."
Federal immigration officers have been deployed to several U.S. airports due to long security lines caused by the government shutdown. The shutdown has left TSA agents working without pay, leading to significant wait times for travelers. ICE agents are being sent to airports with the longest lines, as reported by Trump border czar Tom Homan. Critics express concern that the presence of ICE agents may heighten tensions among travelers. Reports indicate ICE has been seen at multiple major airports across the country, including San Francisco and Atlanta.
