Pittsburgh International Airport officials say they expect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at security gates on Monday.
This comes after President Donald Trump announced ICE agents would be deployed to airports across the country to help with Transportation Security Administration lines during the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security over a funding lapse.
Allegheny Airport Authority spokesman Bob Kerlik said in a statement Monday that airport officials cannot control how federal agencies operate.
“Federal agencies have not announced the exact plans for how ICE will operate at airports but our leadership team remains in close contact with our federal partners at TSA and others as well as local law enforcement with Allegheny County Police,” Kerlik said.
