      Ah, yes, all those ‘illegals’ who notoriously fly into the country and pass through customs with their valid passports.

    2. Wouldn’t someone have to get past CBP to enter the country illegally at an airport?

      And aren’t both CBP and ICE under Homeland Security?

    3. I’m trying to figure out how watching the X-ray machines at the terminal for domestic departures puts ICE in the right place to catch arriving illegals.

    4. Absolutely perfect timing as the world cup starts up. If people needed another reason not to spend their vacation dollars here they just got the biggest one possible. I guess if you’re anything other than milk toast white they’ll throw your ass into one of the ICE centers.

      I am sure the spectacle on film of these clowns pig piling and launching tear gas at LAX or Boston Logan Airport, will certainly help Republicans in the midterms.

      Imagine how badly this is going to go?

      Can we all marvel at how much Trump can get done where he is taking a weekly flight to Florida and playing golf for 2-3 days. I mean it is not like he has started a war, oil prices are skyrocketing and the lines at airports are longer than your favorite roller coaster during the 4th.

      I mean if I did not know better it would seem like he does not care at all what is happening, but the 30% of Americans who did not graduate high school would tell me different.

      So they plan on arresting tourists as they step off the plane? Kind of crazy FIFA is having the World Cup here (and in Mexico). Canada, alone, should’ve hosted.

      Undocumented immigrants aren’t the ones waiting I line. It a bunch of middle class families on spring break.

    9. Reason to use their new concentration camps. Instead of just turning people around and sending them back on the next plane they can now toss them in for profit prisons where taxpayers get to pay the bill. Private prison companies rejoice.

      Because if I was illegal, my first thought would be to come thru an airport where there are ICE fascists.

      Not surprising that the president who rapes kids uses “fertile” as an adjective.

      Question : how are “illegals” getting on to an international flight without a passport?

      Theyll probably be posted up on the domestic terminals and wonder why all the flights originated in the US.

      I give it 48hrs before someone is inappropriately patted down/strip searched /or someones body scans are sexualized and posted

      Airport travel was already stressful enough.

      Now every single Brown and Black person is going to be racially profiled coming off of planes on top of everything else? Wow

      Every day, I keep saying “It’s can’t possibly get worse than this, right?” and it does. Every time. At this point, my mantra should be “It can’t possibly get any better at this point lol”

      So… ICE will be arresting “illegal immigrants” who have valid passports and visas and just got through U.S. Customs and security? There is a certain logic there. ICE will be sure that everyone they hassle will be unarmed, tired, and carrying cash. Their favorite targets.

      Are poor immigrants flying into the US on major airlines? Like, a poor dirt farmer from Guatemala buying a ticket on Delta? Gimme a break.

      …..I thought his big thing was immigrants crossing the southern border by foot? Like isn’t that why he wasted tax payer dollars on an incomplete wall??

    19. turkeyintheyard on

      I thought they were arriving via sLeEpY jOe’S wIdE oPeN bOrDeRs but they’re actually just FLYING into airports? On airplanes? And then going through customs?

      I can’t believe this carny has any power over anything more important than a TV remote. The fucking Shamwow guy is going to inherit a mess.

      You literally can’t fly without a real ID now. If you’re coming from another country you have a passport or a visa.. can hardly think of a worse place to find… illegals. This man is so stupid

    21. Illegal immigrants coming into the country at airports. Does seem like a risk … we probably should implement a force that inspects every one of them and makes sure they have a lawful right to enter. They will protect our border from these people. Let’s call this newfound force “Border Protection” …. oh and while we are at it they could also inspect everyone’s goods to make sure the big beautiful tarrifs are not being circumvented so… lets go with “Customs AND Border Protection”… i like it … has a nice ring to it. sounds strong. powerful.

    22. Half the flight cancellations *in the world* today were from the US. US Companies cancelling domestic travel so they don’t have to deal with the liability is insane. The midterms cannot come quick enough. These people need to be buried

    23. My spouse and I are US born citizens -I’m white and he’s Hispanic. We’ve been planning a trip over the summer to Toronto to see Deadmau5 and have been anxious about this ICE bullshit in general, but especially with border travel. At first we were going to drive, but became concerned after Trump quibbled over border crossings and now gas is an issue. We ended up booking a flight with plans to rent a car when we get there, but are now freaking out over the recent airport bullshit and ICE targeting my brown-skinned husband when we return.

      I fucking hate it here.

      If anyone plans on traveling to the US for the World Cup now. 100% its your fault what happens to you.

      This is ALSO the practice run for them being stationed at polling places in blue states, by the way.

      CBP already has a process for people who come without a valid passport. They put them on a plane and send them back. Why arrest them? Oh yeah, to give more money to the owners of the detention centers.

    27. This happened months back at my local major airport. ICE abducted a woman in front of her children as she was coming out of the security area. Video went viral and caused a huge anti-ICE uproar in my community. It happened only once; ICE never tried it again. He wants to do this as airports are even more crowded now? He is blind, tone deaf, and stupid.

    28. Just so we are clear, ICE is not going to “help TSA” as is being widely reported. ICE is going to make the travel experience worse, so as to raise pressure on democrats. Because Trump does not negotiate, he only punches.

    29. As passengers come into the country they’re already examined by CBP, who has specialized training in identifying fake passports and other travel documents. They already detain people arriving illegally. This is bullshit.

      And there’s no way to train his ICE thugs to properly scan using a magnetometer or a hand wand or examine hand baggage scans at the security checkpoints in two days so this stunt will make the flying public less safe.
