官员们紧急执行特朗普指示:移民与海关执法局特工开展机场安保工作


2026年3月22日 / 美国东部时间下午3:12 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)官员正紧急执行总统特朗普上周末下达的指示:在政府部分停摆期间,由移民特工在机场提供安保服务。多位知情内部人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露了这一情况。

周六,特朗普总统在Truth Social平台发文称,如果国会民主党人不同意为国土安全部(DHS)拨款的协议,他将部署ICE特工前往机场开展安保工作,并逮捕在美国非法滞留人员。国土安全部负责监督ICE和运输安全管理局(TSA)等移民机构。随后特朗普在帖子中表示,他将于周一开始派遣ICE特工前往机场。

知情人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,特朗普的指示让ICE官员措手不及,他们正紧急制定执行计划。这些人士因未获授权对外发言而要求匿名。

一名国土安全部消息人士在被问及总统命令时表示:”我完全不清楚我们在做什么。”

由于政府部分停摆导致TSA员工无薪工作,近期美国各地机场安检口排队人数增加,数百名TSA员工辞职或请病假。

白宫边境问题负责人汤姆·霍曼周日告诉美国有线电视新闻网(CNN),他正在制定执行总统指示的计划,并将与TSA和ICE负责人讨论此事。

霍曼暗示,ICE特工可以在特定机场提供场地安全保障,而非检查乘客和行李。他表示,让ICE特工守卫机场出入境口岸能让更多TSA特工专注于安检工作。霍曼在福克斯新闻节目中还提到,ICE也可协助检查身份证件。

霍曼没有直接说明是否会有ICE特工在机场执行移民逮捕任务,但指出他们通常会在机场执行移民法律。

美国联邦移民官员、ICE特工根据《移民与国籍法》有权逮捕任何他们认为非法滞留或因其他原因可被驱逐的人员,无论其身处美国何地。

一位前ICE高级官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示,该机构的特工可能不具备或未接受过机场安保中技术任务(如操作安检设备)的培训。这位前官员称,ICE特工可以加强机场安全力量,但大多数其他执法机构也能做到这一点。

他还指出,使用海关与边境保护局(CBP)官员来加强机场安保更为合理,因为他们许多人已经在国际机场工作,负责对入境旅客进行移民检查。

哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系国土安全部和白宫发言人寻求置评。

国会民主党人拒绝完全为国土安全部拨款,除非特朗普政府同意进行特定的移民执法改革,包括禁止ICE特工在行动中佩戴口罩。

Officials scramble to carry out Trump’s directive to have ICE agents conduct airport security

March 22, 2026 / 3:12 PM EDT / CBS News

Officials at Immigration and Customs Enforcement have been scrambling to carry out a weekend directive from President Trump to have immigration agents provide security at airports amid the partial government shutdown, multiple sources familiar with the internal deliberations told CBS News.

On Saturday, Mr. Trump posted a message on Truth Social suggesting he would deploy ICE agents to airports to conduct security and arrest people in the U.S. illegally, if congressional Democrats did not agree on a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security. DHS oversees immigration agencies like ICE and the Transportation Security Administration. In subsequent posts, Mr. Trump said he would dispatch ICE agents to airports on Monday.

Mr. Trump’s directive caught officials at ICE off guard and they have been scrambling to come up with a plan to enforce it, the sources familiar with the matter told CBS News, requesting anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press.

“I have no idea what we’re doing,” one DHS source said when asked about the president’s order.

Lines at security checkpoints in airports across the country have increased in recent days, amid several hundred resignations and sick calls among TSA employees, who have been working without pay due to the partial shutdown.

White House border czar Tom Homan told CNN on Sunday that he was working on a plan to execute the president’s directive, adding that he would be discussing the matter with the heads of TSA and ICE.

Homan suggested that ICE agents could provide site security at certain airports, as opposed to screening passengers and bags. He said having ICE agents secure exit and entry points at airports could allow more TSA agents to focus on screenings. Appearing on Fox News, Homan said ICE could also help by checking IDs.

Homan did not directly say whether any ICE agents dispatched to airports would also conduct immigration arrests, but noted they routinely enforce immigration laws there.

As federal immigration officers, ICE agents have the power under the Immigration and Nationality Act to arrest anyone, anywhere in the U.S., who they believe is in the country illegally or deportable on other grounds.

A former senior ICE official told CBS News that agents at the agency would probably not be equipped or trained to help with the more technical tasks of airport security, such as operating the screening machines. The former official said ICE agents could augment the security force at airports but that most other law enforcement agencies could as well.

Using Customs and Border Protection officers to bolster airport security, the former ICE official said, would make more sense, since many already operate at international airports, conducting immigration checks for incoming travelers.

CBS News reached out to representatives for DHS and the White House, requesting comment.

Congressional Democrats have declined to fully fund DHS unless the Trump administration agrees to make certain immigration enforcement reforms, including prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks during operations.
