ICE agents have been deployed throughout the country’s airports this week.
as a partial government shutdown has led to mass TSA resignations and thousands of employees working without pay. And while TSA agents have continued to work without collecting pay, ICE agents are collecting their salaries and seemingly“You’re telling me ICE agents are showing up to the airport and doing absolutely nothing?” Johnson began.
“Well, then, it’s my honor to present the award for most improved agency.” The comedian pulled out a fake, gold-plated award, garnering cheers from the audience.“Sending them to the airport can be like an afterschool program for them, you know? I know they’re just standing around, but it’s keeping them off the streets,” Johnson added. On a more serious note, Johnson said it was “obvious” that sending “random federal agencies” to airports would not help the crisis. Wait times across the country have skyrocketed, leaving both travelers and airports in chaos. In some airports, people are waiting for hours in security:that George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, for example, currently has a wait time of around 3 to 4 hours. At Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, people allegedly waited, confessed, and would mostly be present to provide “extra security.” The agents are reportedly hovering around airports rather than resolving the timing disaster. DHS insiders themselves told CBS that they were blindsided by the president’s decree, with one agent telling the outlet, “I have no idea what we’re doing.”“I want to thank ICE because they stepped in so strongly,” Trump said. “They’ll do great. And if that’s not enough, we’ll bring in the National Guard.”“No! Stop sending more agencies!” Johnson retorted. “You’re not going to make the security lines shorter. You’re just going to make the Starbucks line longer.”
