Long lines out the door at Atlanta airport, ICE agents arrive to assist TSA
ICE agents are deployed to assist TSA amid a partial government shutdown causing over one-third of TSA staff to be absent at 14 major U.S. airports, officials said.
- President Donald Trump directed ICE agents to assist TSA at 14 airports on Monday, March 23, 2026, amid a partial shutdown.
- The DHS funding impasse since Feb. 14 left TSA workers unpaid for weeks, prompting deployment at 14 US airports, with absences exceeding one-third in some major airports in Atlanta, New York City and Houston.
- Agents were observed walking and patrolling at Southwest Florida International Airport and 13 other airports including Chicago-O'Hare International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport , wearing vests labeled 'Immigration and Customs Enforcement' near TSA checkpoints in groups of three to five.
- Union leaders countered that ICE agents won’t solve pay issues and TSA unions warned staffing shortages force some airport checkpoints to close.
- Tom Homan, White House border czar, will oversee the operation involving 'hundreds' of ICE officers, with directives limiting face coverings as Easter approaches and Southwest Florida International Airport enters its busiest month.
