Madness. ICE agents are sent to airports, while TSA agents just want to get paid for doing what they are trained to do. ICE is not trained to do TSA tasks. If TSA were on strike, we would be calling ICE scabs. There would be an inflatable rat at the airports.

But TSA is not on strike; they are political pawns again. This time, one group of federal workers is pitted against another. It's all grotesque, don't you think?

First of all, maybe TSA agents are quitting because they don’t want to sleep in their cars since they can’t afford gas.

Second, ICE agents are barely trained to be ICE agents. Now they’re being put in airports to do TSA’s job with zero training. What could go wrong?

PAY TSA AGENTS, NOT ICE.

She's spot on. Meanwhile:

Punchbowl confirms what I suspected in a post last night. Thune reached a deal with Dems to fund DHS except for ICE and Trump rejected it. DONALD TRUMP is to blame for airport chaos - not Democrats.
