ICE official says agents will "hate" helping TSA at airports
Federal immigration agents will “hate” being deployed to assist airport security operations amid Transportation Security Administration (TSA) staffing shortages, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official told Newsweek.
“The HSI agents will hate it,” the official said, referring to Homeland Security Investigations personnel. “I’ve not heard any talk of this within ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations). They want us arresting and deporting aliens.”
The official, who requested anonymity to speak freely, said they first heard about the reassignment when they were contacted by Newsweek over the weekend.

I’m sure this will lower the tension and angst people feel at airport tremendously…
They cant wear mask
In the pics I saw of today, they were unmasked and about 50/50 had guns, some even had AR
magamags despite not having an AR.That being said it's almost a guarantee people would take pictures when they see a gun so that may be over represented in the pictures.
The World Cup is gonna be a shit show
What do you mean by AR maga? A maga patch with an AR on it?
Pretty sure that's a typo of "mags".
Yeah, meant magazines.
I've never seen an ICE with an AR, but a lot of them carry spare AR mags anyways
Oh that's no biggie. I carry mags all the time just in case I find an AR on the ground. 'Murica, amirite?
Its be embrassing to find one on the ground to use and not have spare mags.
Everyone who flies should take lots of pics
Ehhhh - I was looking forward to being frisked by someone at airport security with an edgy “ripped American flag” graphic face cover and I think there’s still a 50/50 chance of that happening.
Remember, the mask doesn't prevent deep and sustained eye contact while they're grabbing your junk. Make it weird.
Moan and call them daddy. Make them die of cringe. Or they'll get off regardless someones feeling awkward.
Papers! Where are your papers! Schnell! SCHNELL!!!
It will not be schell. It'll be sehr langsam.
The hate goes both ways
Lol these fuckers have to do a fake ass theater job for a day and they complain.
This whole situation is ICE's fault. The irony of them stealing TSA jobs is not lost here.
You don’t understand—the want to be out black-bagging immigrants and beating people up. That’s what they signed up for. A cushy, boring TSA gig is valuable time not spent keeping the nation White and taking out their aggression on “the enemy.”
Oh man, I hadn't noticed that aspect, that's hilarious!
It's these racist paramilitary maga fanatics that are taking real Americans' jobs!
These articles are silly. It's not like ICE has any KPIs they have to hit or standards is conduct or effectiveness. They just have to sit there and occasionally hassle or abduct brown people. They'll be fine.
“I signed up to terrorize brown people dammit! Now I need to sit in a goddamn airport where I can’t abduct people?!?!?”
If they hate it so much, they could always self deport.
I was thinking of a more permanent solution.
Well, yeah, but I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to explicitly tell ice agents to finally do something helpful and kill themselves
Good point. I may not be able to tell them but they can’t take my thoughts away yet.
I was more referring to lemmy lol. I'm expecting that last comment will get removed.
And yet it still stands!
And yet it does! Lemmy is so varied in moderation. Beehaw will ban you for "not being nice".
Even Lemmy can’t sensor my brain. THEY CANT TAKE IT FROM US
I’m sure TSA agents love to see the goons who’s actions are holding up their paychecks, too.
Good. They deserve to be miserable.
Unfortunately, they'll be taking that misery out on airline passengers.
Good. I want them to have bad days. I hope their job sucks more for them than anyone else. And fuck it, I hope they have a headache and are feeling a bit backed up as well. I want them to stop hurting people, and the worse their job is the less people will sign up to join them and hurt people.
Thank fucking god all of my flights were at the beginning of the year and are now done until December. I would have lost my mind.
wouldn't it be funny if people did anonymous reporting of seeing potential bombs and shooters at Airports where ICE is located.
Good. And we will all hate having them there. I hope they are effing miserable the entire time, and hope they work with the public enough to know how much everyone despises them and thinks they are trash humans.
