TSF is now threatening to put ICE agents at airports to support TSA

The Republicans just voted down another bill to fund TSA but he’s claiming it’s the Democrats that need to back down. Wonder what the traveling public is gonna do if they get treated like the people in Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago and other cities are? Will the agents wear masks, have ID badges and carry military equipment?

They are this president's personal military force. No amount of training will be able to reform that if they are expected to be nothing more than MAGA goons.

Used to intimidate opponents of the regime…
That appears to be the message

Another regime several decades ago had similar organizations.

Personally, I was waiting for the reserves, NG or military to be assigned the duty. Didn't see ICE coming.
