Border czar Homan says ICE will do 'non-significant' tasks at airports
(Bloomberg) — Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents assigned to help ease long lines at airport security during the Department of Homeland Security shutdown will only conduct “non-significant” tasks such as guarding exits, border czar Tom Homan said.
“We’re simply there to help TSA do their job in areas that don’t need their specialized expertise such as screening through the X-ray machine,” Homan said on CNN on Sunday, referring to the Transportation Security Administration that is in charge of airport security. “Not trained in that, won’t do that.”
Travelers are suffering through lengthy delays at major US airports in recent weeks due to the budget impasse. Employees of TSA, which the Homeland department oversees, haven’t been paid for five weeks because of the partial shutdown, prompting some to call in sick. Democrats have repeatedly sought to fund TSA alone in response, but those efforts have been blocked by Republicans.
President Donald Trump posted on social media on Saturday that he was directing ICE agents to airports where “they will do Security like no one has ever seen before,” and added that they would conduct “immediate arrests” of any undocumented immigrants with an emphasis on Somalis.
