Government documents obtained by NYT explain the events leading up to the tense scene, including the exchange between the agent & Ms. Lopez-Jimenez.

The documents shed new light on how the #TSA is sharing with #ICE officials the names & birth dates of travelers believed to have been ordered out of the country by a judge. That has made it easier for the #Trump admin to detain & deport undocumented immigrants as they pass through #airports.

It is unclear what role #ICE agents would play at airport checkpoints, as they are NOT TRAINED in #TSA screening procedures, which typically require weeks or months of preparation. Experts & #union representatives have warned that bringing in #untrained personnel could create additional challenges, though agents could assist with limited tasks such as managing lines or directing passengers.

The ongoing #shutdown has contributed to staffing shortages among #TSA officers, leading to long lines & unpredictable wait times. Lawmakers from both parties have been working to strike a deal to reopen #DHS, but a resolution remains uncertain.

“But watch, no matter how great a job ICE does, the Lunatics leading the incompetent Dems will be highly critical of their work. THEY WILL DO A FANTASTIC JOB. The great Tom Homan is in charge,” #Trump ranted.

The announcement follows Trump’s warning a day earlier that he would deploy #ICE agents if lawmakers failed to reach an agreement to fund the #DHS, as #TSA workers continue to go without pay & delays mount at #airports nationwide.

#Trump to deploy #immigration agents to #airports Monday

Trump said Sunday that #ICE agents will be sent to #US airports Monday, with border czar Tom “Bag of Cash” Homan leading the effort. The move comes as #Democrats voice strong opposition & a partial government #shutdown continues to strain airport operations.
