Of course, ICE is headed to the airports, but why?

How else is the regime going to gain complete control of the masses?

Airports are a critical chokepoint for immigration/migration. For Freedom!

Don't be surprised when it's decided not only who gets in but also out.

It's power&control.

Americans are all now in an abusive relationship with the government.

Every flyer has REAL ID now-a-days. REAL ID requires proof of citizenship to either USA or have passport from foreign country with a valid USA visa stamped inside. Undocumented immigrants can not board any flights in USA.

Citizenship cases who are/were detained, locked up, and deported.

We're in uncharted waters. The previously held assumptions are being pressure tested.

The law is quickly becoming whatever the regime says it is, on a whim.

I do admire the idealism, though.

Why not just transfer some ICE money to TSA?

Congress allocates funding for each department. ICE has funding already in law for fiscal year. TSA does not.

ICE when TSA is diminished and fails. Attrition. Corporations do it all the time.

It's a part of the master plan towards creating the American "gestapo" to eliminate a legitimate TSA and replace it with a group capable of being lawless on a whim, Trump’s private goon squad.

We're not in America anymore. New rules apply.

Yeah, it's safe to fly if you're an oligarch with your own wings. Or a Literal Angel. Or an alien who has an actual UFO.

IF someone has "bag" the possibilities are endless.*

Since 9/11 (and the Shoe Bomber), it's been held that, in terms of strict liability, it's dangerous to fly WITHOUT the proper screen and security, hence the TSA.

No TSA, no security, and inadequate substitutes.

Passengers greatly delayed, some missing their flights. Crowded airports. Airlines in disarray, losing money.

Trump sending in ICE, who suck at detention of immigrants, will suck much more as they aren't trained to do the job. IOW, somebody's going to get hurt.

New demand: Trump wants DHS fully funded, except he doesn't. Schumer has offered but has been turned down. Trump now wants the SAVE Act passed before he signs the funding bill. Sure, the funding bill could be passed and enacted without his veto if Congress stays in session for 10 days. But either Mike Johnson and/or John Thune could arbitrarily call for a recess during those 10 days. (Guess who told him/them to do that.) And it would become a Pocket Veto.

Everyone suffers because Trump is playing Intrigue in the Palace.
