ICE Left Scrambling After Being Blindsided by Trump’s Airport Decision

So, are the guys who were afraid of being doxxed going to be showing their faces in the airport where they can be photographed and identified by passengers, or are we in an era where masked men with guns and no uniforms are allowed to roam the airport?

This is exactly where I'm at. The 'if you're just a law abiding citizen it's not a problem' crowd won't be able to keep their heads in the sand and if all that'll happen is they feel intimidated by the armed masked paramilitary then enough damage will have be done to create a worsening image for them

I have to fly for work tomorrow, and I am dreading how terrible it's going to be 

People in airports tend to have a higher income bracket than who these thugs normally harass. They also tend to be on tight schedules.

Oh they’re going to hate it!

Nah, they will just be standing around kidnapping like they always do. Can’t wait to hear about a pilot being detained

With assault rifles. Because they think everything is f****** *Call of Duty*...

Bare minimum you just know they're gonna get really aggro whenever someone accidentally goes through security with a knife or whatever in their bag. TSA is just like "Sorry, we've gotta take this, move along," when that happens since it's fairly common and not that big of a deal, but you just know the tough guy morons that make up ICE will treat every instance of that like the person is trying to pull off a second 9/11.

ICE don’t show ID, right? So what’s stopping the next Al Qaeda dressing up as them at the airport?

How many pilots will be held at gun point for having the wrong skin color?

Trump just wants to steal Iran's thunder and send terrorist to the airports before they do.

They’re going to be confiscating phones and laptops, cloning them or copying all the data “in the interest of national security”. And anyone who complains? Cuffed and stuffed in a cell, making sure you miss your flight. “Should have just complied”

They cant even do tsa's job. They are not legaly allowed to work the machines until they go through the 300 hours of trianing.

And bottom of the barrel in terms of people skills. They’re not going to handle stressed-out travelers very well at all. How soon before we see video of ICE agents beating the c*** out of some grandpa?

Also what kind of background check exceptions do ICE get that airport personnel don’t get?

Also don't forget that this administration is getting around any Federal employee requirements by contracting with (in my opinion) very shady entities.   Fed employees take multitudinous annual and other periodic training - which is documented and they are on the line for complying with the requirements established therein).  Even if all of the ICE personnel covered up were all Feds, there is no way they have received anything other than briefings to do the most harm.  No f****** way. Let that sit, Trump voters, as your gas prices go up and your Social Security is about to be cut off.  You blame "others" for what the 1% and their cronies, wannabes, and disciples are doing to you.  And they don't care that you distinguish - in the way you were taught - that you look, speak, or live different from those "others." You are still the "working class," no matter the "collar" of your job.  You are not special, and you are next. The conservatives have done a fantastic job over the last half century to wear away all of the gains that the "little people" fought so very hard for, across race, origin, and economic class. We should all be ashamed.

Open book with correct answers after the question.

I feel like if you cannot pass the open book exam, you are not bottom of the barrel, you are not even in the barrel.

They should be sent to Iran instead. They wanna play Call of Duty, good luck!

They’ll be pretty men in vest standing around making everything “safer”, but not improving outcomes. So…basically exactly what they have been doing.

Great. I’m sure there won’t be any reason to be more concerned about airport security these days, is there?

Wonder how many have even flown before now tbh

Most of them probably can't pass a TSA Pre check background check.

Yes. Changed within like 4 hours.

This administration just bumbles and stumbles around daily

He said they won't be directly involved in security screening. They will be "helping" in other ways.

Wait until the rest realize that the next administration won’t be giving them that bonus.

It was worse than that. The fine print said if they got the bonus and didn't keep up the numbers they had to pay it back. Let me find the article I read

Paid like $10k a year, and if you don't serve all 5 years you have to repay it lol. It's the new indentured servant. Btw, lots of shitty jobs do this for retention. Huge red flag.

Allegedly, it’s paid out after 5 years of service lol. It’s comical they basically set up the next administration to not pay.

What I don’t get is if we have money to send them to airports don’t we have money to pay TSA?

If one of those guys touches my t***, it’s over for them. I’ll be featured on your next local news report or TikTok reel.

It's going to be real interesting what the general public thinks of their first experience with masked officers up close.

CS inside an airport is going to be....something

Or some foreign power is able to pull another 9/11

That's likely the plan to increase arrests and payouts

And are ICE agents in the airport going to take off their masks?

Bet they start with arresting and disappearing airport staff and TSA personnel. 

Yep. They're conveniently finding reasons to slowly fill all manner of important places with his well-funded paramilitary force that is full of people that joined to deal with "others". I'm sure that nothing bad will happen at all.

This should be higher up.

I’ve been repeating this all day, but here I go again: they’ve done away with our freedom of press and speech. Now they’re moving onto our freedom of movement and our voting rights. I fully expect to see ICE officers outside and inside of the polls heavily armed and looking over voters shoulders.

I…cannot disagree. Which is scary, because TSA hires people that fail the mall cop test.

This won't affect MAGA, they have no need for airports since they spend their entire lives in a tri-country radius.

Be safe 💚

“TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES MOTHER F*****” says the masked man with an assault rifle to the family of 4 flying to Destin for spring break. The kids cry and the dad panics. “I forgot to empty my Nalgene” says a zanaxed out house wife. The gun cocks.

Republicans have control of both houses of Congress. They could end this in an hour if they wanted to.

Multiple people HAVE died.

Many people have already died. People in our country, killed by ICE. People in our country killed by losing affordable healthcare and other social services. People in our military killed in battles we shouldn’t be fighting. Civilians in other countries killed in battles we shouldn’t be fighting. People killed by preventable diseases like measles that are having a resurgence. People dying due to religious-based, government-enforced restrictions on women’s healthcare. Thousands starving, sick, and dying because vital US aid was pulled from other countries. Future millions killed by preventable diseases and lack of scientific and medical research. Trump and his handlers are among the worst mass murderers of all time.

Pick a day next week. 

I would not even trust ICE to properly clean a bathroom lol

I have a work trip to NYC next week, ugh.

Until you realize that immigrants and people from other countries are also traveling within our country, and they won’t bother figuring out who’s here legally because they have clearly never cared about that. So they’re just going to use it as another silo for their concentration camps.
