ICE officers now checking IDs in airport security lines

[littlemissmartypants]

• Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are now verifying identification at more than 15 airports nationwide, deploying on Monday to assist with passenger screening amid the ongoing government shutdown.
• A 40-day partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security has diminished Transportation Security Administration staffing, with major hubs reporting callout rates above 35% and wait times exceeding four hours on Thursday.
• Although DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated ICE officers received "standard TSA training," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy claimed agents could operate X-ray machines, while border czar Tom Homan disputed this, saying agents lack specialized training.

5. I have family flying this weekend.

I asked them if they will step in if they see someone being brutalized by ICE. They both said no. But I did mention that they won't know how they'll respond until they're in the situation. Anyone flying should think about these potential scenarios ahead of time.
