While Democrats drag out their reckless shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, leaving thousands of TSA workers unpaid and forcing massive lines at major airports, President Trump’s ICE agents are now on the ground at JFK to keep things moving.
Videos from Terminal 5 show ICE officers patrolling, managing crowds, and backing up overwhelmed security operations as spring break travel grinds to a halt. Wait times have ballooned, travelers are furious, and no-shows among unpaid TSA screeners have made the situation worse.
This isn’t the chaos Democrats wanted, but it’s the reality they created by blocking funding over border security demands. ICE stepping in proves law enforcement can deliver when bureaucrats won’t. Trump called it “great” that agents are helping and even praised offers like Elon Musk’s to cover TSA paychecks.
Congress needs to end this nonsense now—fund DHS properly, secure the border, and stop punishing American travelers. America First means getting results, not playing shutdown games.
