This serves multiple purposes...one of which (if the media would bother to actually point this out) is to demonstrate that ICE is already funded so holding up funding for TSA and other DHS agencies has nothing to do with that.

Dave Portnoy hac a guy call into his podcast yesterday said Trump should send ICE in just to piss off Congress. Portnoy relayed that this morning on Fox News..guess Trump heard about it!!

I’ll be flying soon...unfortunately...but we’ll be hoping to wish an ICE agent a good shift.

Its a fun political game to play. It’s certainly an easier path forward.
It would be more effective though to fully abolish the TSA and let states and airports do this job, which they should be doing anyways.
The initial nationalization of airport security was fundamentally flawed and wrong and unconstitutional. Now we are all paying the price for that mistake.

Trump often reminds me of an old friend’s standard reply to questions like: “Hey, what are you doing here?” and similar.
His answer: “I’m just here to p*** people off.”

Yep. They had the Patriot Act already written and ready to go.

Hmm...They said it takes 6 months to train a TSA agent.

A chimp could do it in 6 minutes. ICE should reroute questionable passengers to their home country.
