According to reporting by The New York Times, border czar Tom Homan has directed ICE agents to 13 airports nationwide. Those locations include Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport, LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport and Southwest Florida International Airport.
ICE agents were also seen at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, which was not on the reported list of airports.Â
