ICE deploys to airports as TSA wait times spike amid DHS funding standoff

With DHS funding stalled and the government partially shut down, ICE agents have been deployed to about 14 U.S. airports to assist TSA staff and crowd control as long security lines and worker shortages strain air travel; DHS has declined to reveal per‑airport assignments, and lawmakers are debating funding while considering measures like the SAVE America Act (and noting more than 400 TSA officers have quit).
