NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — The Trump administration is using Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to help with a shortage of Transportation Security Administration agents at certain U.S. airports.

This comes as Connecticut lawmakers propose new limits on what ICE agents may do in our state. There has not been word about the federal government sending ICE officers to Bradley International Airport. But there have been ICE raids in Connecticut.

If the left doesn’t like ICE in airports they should pass the SAVE act
This is on their heads

Every lawmaker that votes to break federal law needs to be instantly arrested and perp-walked into federal prison to await their trial.

I think that the economically destitute state of Connecticut should be ceded to Canada. Connecticut has pretty much resigned from America and will not really be missed when gone

Pinko Dem states seem to forget this question was settled after South Carolina decided to interfere with the US Army's performance of its official duties in 1861.

States have exactly -zero- authority to control Federal agents in the performance of their official duties.

They sound more and more like neo-Confederates every day.

They need to be put before military tribunals on charges of sedition and treason. Then hanged or shot.

President Trump yesterday declared that America’s #1 enemy is now the Democrat party.

Even the ‘Rats don’t seem to be disputing it.

Does that Connecticut toilet even have an airport? If so, why?

All I’ve seen are videos of ICE milling around at the airports, but then I read that Atlanta’s wait times had dropped very significantly.

The media is showing you those videos to make it like ICE is doing nothing.

Wait times dropping from 5 hours to 40 minutes tells the REAL story.

The Republicans need to grow a spine and pass all of this stuff through reconciliation.

Reconciliation is required to be budgetary related. This is why the SAVE ACT (non-budgetary) and DHS funding (100% budgetary) needs to be combined into one bill to make reconciliation authorized by the parliamentarian.
