ICE agents were spotted at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston assisting TSA officers with baggage and ID checks on Sunday, March 29, during the partial government shutdown.
Video filmed by TikTok user @gloszzoutdoors shows ICE agents working in tandem with TSA officers.
ICE agents were deployed to airports nationwide from March 23 to assist with long lines resulting from TSA staffing shortage during the shutdown.
After 44 days without pay, TSA staff began receiving back pay on Monday, but ICE agents could remain at airports, depending on airport needs. Credit: @gloszzoutdoors via Storyful
