Washington, United States: Immigration agents will be deployed in US airports beginning Monday, aiming to alleviate soaring congestion at security screenings amid a weeks-long budget standoff over President Donald Trump's mass deportation drive, officials said.
Trump announced the extraordinary move in a social media post Sunday morning, sending officials racing to quickly develop a plan.
Tom Homan, the president's senior border aide, confirmed to CNN that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents would be shifted from their normal duties to airports on Monday, but they would not be doing jobs they were untrained for.
"I don't see an ICE agent looking at an x-ray machine, because you're not trained in that," he said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Rather, the agents would help "wherever we can provide extra security," such as monitoring exits.
