Unmasked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were deployed to major airports across the United States on Monday, where they were quickly confronted and photographed by travelers and media as they began assisting with airport operations.

President Donald Trump announced the move a day earlier, saying ICE personnel would be sent to support TSA officers, many of whom have been working without pay since February due to the ongoing government shutdown.

At John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, ICE agents were seen patrolling terminals as long security lines formed amid the partial shutdown. The presence of the agents drew significant attention from passengers and photographers.

Some ICE officers were filmed attempting to avoid cameras, with footage showing them running as they were pursued by photographers inside JFK.

At the same time, ICE personnel were also deployed at Atlanta’s airport, where they were observed helping with security-related duties alongside TSA officers who remain on the job despite not receiving pay.

Airports where ICE agents were deployed on Monday include Atlanta, Chicago O’Hare, Cleveland, Houston Hobby, Fort Myers, New Orleans, New York JFK, New York LaGuardia, Newark Liberty, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, and San Juan in Puerto Rico.
