随着部分政府停摆导致美国运输安全管理局（TSA）人员短缺——他们要么辞职要么请假——移民和海关执法局（ICE）特工于周一开始被部署到部分美国机场。
移民局特工周一抵达亚特兰大哈茨菲尔德-杰克逊国际机场，有记者看到他们在安检口外的队伍中巡逻。在包括亚特兰大、纽约市和新奥尔良在内的多个城市，由于TSA人员缺席，周末安检队伍过长，蜿蜒延伸至机场外的停车场。
自2月中旬部分政府停摆开始以来，TSA工作人员一直未领到工资。仅周六一天，全国就有超过11.5%的TSA人员请假，这是停摆以来的最高比例。
周一上午，ICE特工被拍到出现在纽约约翰·F·肯尼迪国际机场和芝加哥奥黑尔国际机场。据CBS匹兹堡报道，他们还将前往匹兹堡国际机场。
在全美最繁忙的航空枢纽哈茨菲尔德-杰克逊机场，工作人员周末向旅客分发水，此前曾建议旅客提前四小时到达机场。旅客朱莉·夸特（Julie Kwurt）表示，她和丈夫照做了，但最终还是错过了航班，不得不重新预订。
“我们一直在站着，站了很久，”夸特说，“我的脚都快断了，而且我丈夫还有心脏病。”
据CBS亚特兰大报道，周末在哈茨菲尔德-杰克逊机场，一些旅客等待时间长达六小时。对于周一机场出现ICE特工的情况，旅客们反应不一，一些人表示支持部署，另一些人则认为“不如让TSA工作人员在这儿”更有用。
周末，特朗普总统表示，他的政府将向一些因TSA人员辞职和缺勤而受影响严重的机场派遣ICE特工。总统周一在Truth Social上发文称，如果ICE特工在机场不戴口罩，他将“非常感激”。
除了TSA人员请假外，由于国会未能就资助TSA所属的美国国土安全部达成协议，数百名TSA人员已经辞职。
尽管ICE特工本应协助加快安检流程，但他们目前主要协助机场的人群管理。批评人士指出，他们缺乏负责安检所需的培训。民主党人尤其抨击用ICE特工替代TSA人员的举措，因为用于移民执法的策略正是政府停摆的主要原因之一。
代表TSA人员的美国联邦政府雇员协会主席埃弗雷特·凯利（Everett Kelly）在一份声明中表示，他们“应该得到报酬，而不是被未经培训的武装特工取代，这些特工已经显示出他们可能带来的危险”。
凯利指出，TSA人员接受过专门培训，而ICE特工缺乏这种培训。
CBS新闻高级交通记者克里斯·范克利夫（Kris Van Cleave）报道称，除非ICE特工已经获得了安全识别显示区（SIDA）徽章（这是允许机场安保人员通过安检点的凭证），否则他们在协助机场安检方面的作用可能会受到一定限制。

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents began deploying to some U.S. airports on Monday as a partial government shutdown caused shortages of Transportation Security Administration officers who have resigned or called out of work.
Immigration agents arrived Monday at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, where they were seen patrolling the lines outside security checkpoints, CBS News correspondent Skyler Henry reported. Excessively long security lines snaked all the way to the parking lots outside of airports in cities including Atlanta, New York City and New Orleans over the weekend as TSA officers were absent.
TSA staff have gone without paychecks since the partial shutdown began in mid-February. More than 11.5% of TSA officers nationwide called out on Saturday alone, which was the highest share since the partial shutdown began.
ICE agents were photographed on Monday morning at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City and O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. They are also expected at Pittsburgh International Airport, CBS Pittsburgh reported.

At Harstfield-Jackson, which is the nation’s busiest air travel hub, staff handed out water to crowds of people over the weekend who had been advised to arrive at the airport four hours ahead of their flights’ scheduled departure times. One of traveler, Julie Kwurt, said she and her husband followed those instructions but were still forced to rebook after missing their flight anyway.
“We’ve just been standing and standing,” Kwurt said. “Our feet are killing us, and my husband has a heart condition on top of that.”
Some travelers at Hartsfield-Jackson faced wait times of up to six hours of the weekend, CBS Atlanta reported. They shared mixed reactions to the presence of ICE agents at the airport on Monday, with some telling the station that they support the deployment, and others saying they believe “it would be more beneficial just to have the TSA staff here.”
Over the weekend, President Trump said his administration would send ICE agents to some of the airports that have been hit particularly hard by TSA resignations and absences. The president wrote in a Truth Social post Monday that he would “greatly appreciate” it if ICE agents did not wear masks at airports.
In addition to TSA officers calling out of work, hundreds have resigned as Congress continues to fail to reach a deal on funding the Department of Homeland Security, the parent agency of TSA.
Although ICE agents are supposed to help speed up the security process, they are largely assisting with crowd control at the airports. Critics have argued that they lack the training necessary to be responsible for security screenings. Democrats, especially, are slamming the move to deploy them in place of TSA officers, since the tactics used for immigration enforcement are some of the main reasons for the government shutdown in the first place.

Everett Kelly, the president of the American Federation of Government Employees, the union that represents TSA officers, said in a statement that they “deserve to be paid, not replaced by untrained, armed agents who have shown how dangerous they can be.”
Kelly pointed out that TSA officers undergo specific training that ICE agents lack.
CBS News senior transportation correspondent Kris Van Cleave reported that the agents may be somewhat limited in how much they can help with airport security unless they had already been issued Security Identification Display Area, or SIDA, badges, which are credentials allowing airport security employees past checkpoints.
