Trump sends US immigration agents to airports as shutdown chaos deepens
Al Jazeera
Shutdown standoff forces US President Trump’s hand as airport queues spiral and security staff go unpaid.
Immigration enforcement agents will be deployed across major United States airports from Monday, President Donald Trump has announced, in an extraordinary move to ease a security crisis triggered by a prolonged political standoff in Washington.
Trump confirmed the plan in a social media post on Sunday, with his senior border official Tom Homan named to lead the effort.
This came after weeks of mounting chaos at airport security checkpoints and a day after Trump threatened the move unless Democrats backed down on a funding battle.
The crisis stems from Congress’s failure to renew funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the federal agency that oversees airport security.
