""I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country," Trump posted on Truth Social."
"Officials say wait times are unpredictable and can fluctuate sharply as airports struggle with Transportation Security Administration staffing shortages."
"More than half of TSA staff in Houston called out sick and nearly a third called out in Atlanta and New Orleans last week, DHS said."
"The staffing shortage comes as travel has also been disrupted by severe weather, and as schools across the country are on spring break."
Spring break travelers in the U.S. are experiencing significant delays at airports due to long security lines. The Department of Homeland Security is shut down, causing TSA screeners to work without pay. Major airports like Houston and Atlanta have reported wait times of up to two hours. Staffing shortages have led to the closure of security checkpoints in Philadelphia. President Trump has threatened to deploy ICE agents to assist with airport security if funding is not approved. The situation is exacerbated by severe weather and high travel volumes.
