How many airports will ICE agents be deployed at to ease lines, are they in San Francisco?
President Donald Trump shared a post on Truth Social about ICE agents.
In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump said: “On Monday, ICE will be going to airports to help our wonderful TSA Agents who have stayed on the job despite the fact that the Radical Left Democrats, who are only focused on protecting hard line criminals who have entered our Country illegally, are endangering the USA by holding back the money that was long ago agreed to with signed and sealed contracts, and all. 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!!! President DJT.”
Andre Dickens, the Mayor of Atlanta, issued a statement which read: “We have been informed that federal personnel from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ICE-ERO) will be deployed to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport beginning tomorrow morning.
“According to federal officials, these personnel will be assigned to support operational needs directed by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), including line management and crowd control within the domestic terminals. Federal officials have indicated that this deployment is not intended to conduct immigration enforcement activities.
"All federal personnel will report directly to TSA for the duration of this assignment. There are no requests for support from the Atlanta Police Department, and no anticipated impact on City operations at this time.
“Our Administration will continue to monitor the situation closely and remain in communication with the public and travelers as these federal actions develop.
“Atlanta remains committed to ensuring that residents and travelers feel safe, informed, and supported as they move through the world’s busiest and most efficient airport.
“Our Administration remains hopeful the Federal Government can soon find a way to fully fund TSA and pay their employees to resume standard operations at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport—and all airports we connect to.
“To help ease the burden on TSA officers who continue to serve travelers despite not receiving pay, the City and ATL have implemented support measures which can be found here.
“Members of the public and media are encouraged to direct specific operational questions to the Transportation Security Administration.”
According to reports, ICE agents will be deployed at 14 airports, but at the time of writing, it does not look like they will be at airports in San Francisco.
