I guess we should be thankful for small favors, cuz if they're standing around doing nothing, at least they're not out on the streets deporting law abiding American citizens and killing others.

That's the way to look at the whole situation in order to not lose another piece of our sanity. However, I was reading that ICE is getting tips about people who are targets for deportation. Let's hope the ICE horror in our communities is not moving to our airports!

This is just another crazy scheme to solve a problem Trump created. By sending his ICE patrols to the airports, Trump is adding to the congestion and all the chaos. The ICE patols are not trained to be TSA and have no idea what to do. You can see them milling around, looking confused and taking pictures on their ceelphones.

Ice is there to intimidate. 'Twould seem they have been employed from the beginning to instill fear.

Typical Trump act fast with no forethought and claim victory. Then wonder why consequences get out of control. When will the first ice agent shooting at an airport happen?

Elect a nut and you get nutty actions . . . Like ICE, wars, and murder.

There's also a shortage of air traffic controllers. Why don't they send a few ICE agents up to the tower to stand around and watch them crash planes into each other?

Good point that ICE has no TSA training. From what I have read, TSA Agents get a lot more training than I would have thought. So ICE definitely is not properly trained to work in TSA capacity. Then again, ICE isn't properly trained in law enforcement either and that doesn't seem to have mattered has it!!! So if ICE isn't trained in any capacity, I say we just get rid of them completely!!!

Love to get rid of them. Do you have a magic wand to do that?
