The deployment of ICE agents at airports across the country to help the understaffed TSA has pressed the panic button for many as they are scared that airports will become the ground of violent action by the ICE. The immigration officials asked to help the TSA at airports to ease the long queues owing to the shutdown of the DHS funding are not supposed to do their regular immigration enforcement job but immigration experts are advising people to be safe.
Indian-origin immigration attorney Saimithra Reddy issued a video on the ICE deployment at airports and said that she did not intend to fear-monger but to educate people as ICE has a larger discretion and they can question anyone about their residency proof.
