Former White House advisor Steve Bannon said ICE's deployment to airports to replace TSA agents during the ongoing funding lapse at the Department of Homeland Security could be used as a "test run" to "perfect" its "involvement in the 2026 midterms."
Bannon made the remarks during his "War Rooms" podcast. "We can use this, ICE helping at airports, as a test run, a test case, to really perfect ICE's involvement in the 2026 midterms," he said, framing it as a question to his interviewee, Mike Davis, Founder and President of Article III Project.
