ICE Has No Place in Airport Security Lines

The ICE Accountability Project released the following statement after the Trump administration deployed ICE agents into airport security lines:

“ICE has no place in airport security lines. This is the same agency tied to deaths, injuries, and widespread harm—now placed in one of the most crowded, high-stress environments in the country. Just like they aren’t trained for urban operations, ICE agents aren’t equipped to handle routine aviation security. As Republicans in Congress refuse basic safeguards to rein in ICE while letting DHS funding lapse, the Trump administration is exploiting that chaos to expand ICE’s reach even further. We must end this—fund DHS responsibly, pull ICE out of airports, and restore order.”
