ICE Aids TSA at Airports Amid Shutdown as Columbus Statue Returns to White House Grounds
TL;DR Summary
The White House confirms ICE agents will be deployed to about 14 U.S. airports to help TSA move travelers through security during a partial government shutdown, though details remain unsettled as officials discuss numbers and locations. The move is framed as relief for overextended TSA lines and a lever in the DHS funding fight with Democrats. Separately, a Columbus statue was installed on White House grounds, part of President Trump’s effort to cast the explorer as a hero amid debates over his legacy.
