Trying to wrap my head around what kind of critical thinking gets you to hating ice but also somehow still believing the word of ICE officials

Not only is it impossible to train them on such short notice, but they’re way too stupid. I don’t see airports or airlines being on board with it. They’re not trained and people are scared of them. The airline lobby is powerful and they’re already pissed about this war, but they’re scraping by because demand is still strong. If anything hurts demand (and having ICE do actual security screening could), the airlines would be banging down the White House door

I’d be surprised if ICE even shows up at any major airport (JFK, ATL, IAD, LAX, etc) in any substantial way tomorrow. This seemed like an attempt to get Dems to cave on DHS funding, or maybe just distract people

A bit surprised. Like a 6 or 7. They showed up at maybe half of what I’d consider “major airports” (I’m seeing conflicting reports about PHL). I have zero clue what they’re doing at airports like PIT and RSW. But I don’t see anything about them doing any screening, as I expected. Now that oil prices have (momentarily) fallen, maybe the airlines are a bit more relaxed, but idk how long they’ll stay below $100 and I’m sure the airlines know better than I do about that

I think I erred too far on the side of “TACO” and thought he wasn’t serious at all

Was it only at SFO? ICE shouldn’t even be deployed there to stand in for TSA. SFO uses private screeners
