"There are few situations so bad that they can't be made worse by adding ICE: Your house is on fire? Here's ICE! Now your house is still on fire, and someone has entered it with a 'judicial warrant' to rifle through your burnt belongings."
"Who will help at the airport? How about the people whose only experience with planes is putting people on them against their will, to never see their families again?"
"Will the presence of ICE help with the TSA overwhelm? The White House 'border czar,' Tom Homan, has suggested that 'certainly, a highly trained ICE law-enforcement officer can cover an exit-make sure people don't go through those.'"
The introduction of ICE at airports during TSA employee pay issues raises significant concerns. ICE's history of treating individuals poorly has led to funding holds for the Department of Homeland Security. While TSA aims to ensure passenger safety, ICE's involvement is seen as detrimental. The airport environment, often chaotic, is not improved by adding an agency known for its controversial practices. The suggestion that ICE can alleviate TSA's burden is met with skepticism, given its track record and the current state of airport operations.
