Unmasked ICE agents have been deployed at major airports across the country Monday — and they’re already being hounded by flyers and photographers.
President Trump announced Sunday that he was sending ICE personnel to airports to help TSA agents, who haven’t been paid since February.
Immigration enforcement agents were filmed patrolling JFK International Airport in New York amid huge lines caused by the partial TSA shutdown on Monday morning.
Some ICE officers were filmed running from photographers as they were followed at JFK.
ICE agents were also pictured acting as security at Atlanta airport on Monday, supporting the remaining TSA officers, who are currently working for no pay.
The airports where ICE has been deployed on Monday include Atlanta, Chicago O’Hare, Cleveland, Houston Hobby, Fort Myers, New Orleans, New York JFK, New York LaGuardia, Newark Liberty, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, and San Juan in Puerto Rico.
