More than 800 people have been arrested due to tips turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement by the Transportation Safety Administration since President Donald Trump took office in early 2025, according to a new report.
The arrests, inside and around the nation's airports between January 2025 and the end of February, were made after 31,000 travelers were flagged by TSA for potential immigration enforcement, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing internal ICE data.
Since Trump ordered federal immigration agents to assist TSA agents at airports during the partial government shutdown involving DHS, ICE has maintained a presence at 14 U.S. airports following Democrats' refusal to support additional money for Trump's immigration crackdown without reforms.
Trump administration's deployment of ICE agents has been criticized by Democrats who have called for their removal.

So it seems that cause and effect is happening. Defund the TSA. ICE went to help.
So go figure!
