The Maryland Aviation Administration has been informed that ICE is deploying additional personnel to @BWI_Airport starting today. We have been told by ICE their personnel will provide operational support and assist at @TSA security checkpoints to speed up the clearance process for passengers — not immigration enforcement. Passenger and baggage screening responsibilities will remain with trained, skilled TSA personnel. Americans are sick and tired of Washington’s dysfunction. The federal government needs to get its act together, pay TSA officers, and stop asking ICE agents to do work far outside their scope. As airports across the country continue to deal with long waits, travelers with upcoming flights should plan ahead, arrive early, and closely monitor airport and airline updates.
