Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents began deploying to some U.S. airports on Monday as a partial government shutdown causes 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 from New York City to New Orleans over the weekend, as TSA officers called out of work. 

When they failed to receive yet another paycheck last week, more than 11.5% of 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.

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 them, Julie Kwurt, told "CBS Mornings" that she and her husband followed those instructions but were still forced to rebook after missing their flight, anyway.
