ICE to Hit World’s Busiest Airport as Traveler Chaos Continues

ICE officers will be on hand to prevent chaos at the world’s busiest airport, the city’s mayor confirmed Sunday.

Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was identified Sunday as one of the airports where ICE officers will be stationed on Monday, in an effort to ease passenger disruptions caused by a reduction in Transportation Security Administration staff.

The move comes as airports across the United States saw frantic scenes over the weekend, with security line wait times reaching up to three hours at some airports, as TSA employees went without their first paycheck since the partial government shutdown began last month.
