The Senate Democrats have been keeping the federal government, including the TSA, FEMA and Coast Guard, partially shut down in their quest to protect their most cherished illegal alien demographic. The Dems want ICE reforms, and the lack of funding for TSA has caused delays at many airports across the country.
President Trump's temporary fix (to at least partly help alleviate wait times) has been to deploy ICE -- congressional Democrat kryptonite -- to some airports to help out.
The week started this way:
NEW: @CNN has published a list of the 13 U.S. airports where ICE has been deployed this morning:

Can confirm, ICE is definitely in the Atlanta Airport.

Hopefully they catch some illegal aliens and put them on flights back to their home countries.

What happened next after massive TSA lines earlier in the day?

"You can see ICE agents behind me RIGHT THERE!"
"And some more over here!"
"They've been doing patrols."
This frees up TSA for screening. LFG! 🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/uVP56gyIyk
The Democrats were no doubt hoping something would go horribly wrong (because they care so much about Americans, or something) but that hasn't been the case.
Under 40 minutes is pretty damn good for a regular day

Wonder how many illegals didn't show up or left the line?
