How weird that throwing a few untrained thugs at a problem doesn’t immediately speed things up.

I read that as “urinated thugs” and just laughed at them being piss babies

lol the only people who thought ICE was going to help this situation are as stupid as the administration who made the decision to send them.

This one was just a radio caller and Trump: https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/trumps-shambolic-policy-making-fox-segment-hits-airports Person calls in to right wing radio suggesting ICE in airports. Gets repeated on right wing TV. Trump hears it and asks for it. Minions try to make it so. No one thought this was going to help except some radio caller and Trump thought it was genius. No one else is capable of telling him "no".

100% guarantee someone is going to get killed by ICE at the airports.

Amazing that ICE didn't do jack shit. Seems like they're worthless wherever they go.

Despite? Because. (Well, I guess if ICE scares enough people away from the airports, the lines'll get shorter. I don't think that's a good way shorten lines, though, and the ICE agents are going to get into fights and stuff like that in airports, where there are a lot of cameras, so I think Trump made a mistake here.)

ICE officers dont process passengers. Theyre just there for security theater. The long lines are from understaffed CBP agents and outdated systems. Classic misdirection.

You dont say! I thought everything was supposed to be magical under Trump. Was thinking about fry cooks running nuclear power plants. Maybe not though, huh?

Why would untrained people showing up help lines move faster

It's the kind of idea that someone who's never had to work an actual job comes up with.

You mean a bunch of dudes standing around with their ICE vests on isn’t speeding up security checks at the airports? No way.

Weird, ICE doing nothing didn’t help? Huh.🤔

Imagine turning up in the US and seeing people being assaulted and disappeared before you even leave the airport. Who would even be visiting this sh\*thole.

\* Flies into a US airport \* \* 5 men are kneeling on and choking a screaming woman and her child \* Well, at least they arent wearing masks.

The only lines they are affecting are the lines at McDonalds and Starbucks, making the wait 3x longer.

"We brought in people not authorized to do anything and we're surprised it hasn't helped" Also it is pretty wild how many of ICE are visible minorities who will eventually find themselves in the pen on the dock. "See, I'm one of the GOOD ones" didn't help any of the brown coats on the night of the long knives either.....

They certainly aren't there to help.

How can a pack of CoD cos players pointlessly roaming through an airport  possibly be of any help to TSA. Bribe taking Tom Homan claimed they would manage entries, exits to allow TSA personnel to help with queues. I suppose that either did not happen or did not move the needle. Either way it’s bad idea no matter how they spin it, just like everything else current incompetent administration is doing.

Ice doesn’t know how to operate x ray machines though so this won’t make a difference for long lines

Republicans can. They have the majority, and thus the burden is upon them.

Clean up his mess by allowing his voter suppression bill? Lol no thanks, all good.

Struggling to keep up due to inflation? You can end that anytime! Just push your car off a cliff, burn down your house, and go live feral in the woods!

The longer they wait, the worst the consequences for them in midterms. Not to mention consequences for their constituents. They are being so foolish!
