民主党人猛烈抨击唐纳德·特朗普总统周一决定将移民与海关执法局(ICE)部署到全国机场的举措，当时旅行枢纽在部分政府停摆的情况下正艰难维持安全力量，而此次停摆现已接近第40天。
“他这么做绝对没有任何理由，”得克萨斯州民主党众议员罗尼卡·埃斯科瓦尔表示，“特朗普这是在添乱。”
埃斯科瓦尔称，国会应通过一项提案，将运输安全管理局(TSA)的资金与僵局问题分离，而非使用ICE来满足机场的安全需求。

亚利桑那州民主党众议员阿德利塔·格里哈尔瓦同样谴责了此次部署。
“我认为这是个极其糟糕的想法，只会引发更多问题，”格里哈尔瓦表示。
与国土安全部(DHS)旗下其他机构一样，TSA的资金于2月14日因民主党要求改革ICE而耗尽——ICE正是特朗普移民打击行动的核心机构。
民主党将对国土安全部资金的支持与禁止ICE特工戴口罩、加强公共场所嫌疑人逮捕的搜查令要求以及禁止巡逻队等其他改革条件挂钩。

共和党人拒绝了这些要求，认为它们会束缚特朗普的移民执法目标。共和党人需要至少七名民主党人支持，才能在参议院突破60票门槛以打破阻挠议事，但共和党在参议院仅占53席。
随着僵局进入第40天，TSA特工在维持工作的同时面临薪资问题。特朗普周一宣布部署ICE以加强机场安全。
然而，格里哈尔瓦担心这些以移民为重点的工作可能会与旅行场所产生冲突。
“我认为他们的全部工作就是试图抓捕他们认为非法滞留美国的人，而这些地方大多是我们主要的旅行枢纽，”格里哈尔瓦表示。
她表示担忧，ICE特工可能没有足够时间接受正规机场安全人员的培训。
因此，如果你仔细想想，我不确定他们如何能帮助人们感到安心。如果我是国际旅客，我不会想来美国面对一个训练不足的‘流氓机构’，”格里哈尔瓦说道。
据国土安全部称，已有超过366名TSA特工离职。TSA特工在3月13日首次错过完整薪资发放。

Democrats rip Trump’s ICE airport move as shutdown nears 40 days: ‘no reason’
Rep Adelita Grijalva says ICE agents are under-trained for airport security

Democrats blasted President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to airports across the country on Monday as travel centers struggle to maintain a security presence amid a partial government shutdown, which is now nearing the 40-day mark.
“There’s absolutely no reason for him to do that,” said Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas. “[Trump] has put a stop to it.”
Instead of using ICE to meet security needs at airports, Escobar said that Congress should pass a proposal that separates funding for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from the gridlock.

Fellow Democrat Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., echoed Escobar’s condemnation of the deployment.
“I think it’s a horrible, horrible idea that’s just going to cause more problems,” Grijalva said.
Like the rest of the agencies that operate under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), funding for TSA ran dry on Feb. 14 over Democrat-led demands to reform ICE, the agency at the heart of Trump’s immigration crackdown.
Democrats have conditioned their support for DHS funding on a ban on masks for ICE agents, stiffer warrant requirements for apprehending suspects in public and a ban on roaming patrols, among other changes.

Republicans have rebuffed the demands, arguing they would handcuff Trump’s immigration enforcement goals. Republicans need at least seven Democrats to reach the 60-vote threshold to break a filibuster in the Senate, where they hold just 53 seats.
As the standoff reaches the 40-day mark, TSA agents have struggled to continue working while covering costs. Trump announced on Monday that he would deploy ICE in an effort to shore up airport security.
However, Grijalva voiced concern that their immigration-focused work might clash with places of travel.
“I think that their whole job is to try to pick people off that they think are not legally in the United States. That’s most of our big travel hubs,” Grijalva said.

She expressed concern that ICE agents wouldn’t have sufficient time to receive the training afforded to regular airport security.

“So, if you think about it, I don’t know how they would be helpful in making people feel calm. If I were an international traveler, I wouldn’t want to come to the United States to deal with a rogue agency that is under-trained,” Grijalva said.
According to DHS, more than 366 TSA agents have left the force. TSA agents missed their first full paychecks on March 13.
