Homan on ICE at airports: "ICE can check identification before people enter the screening area"

While Miller and those others who have a financial vested interest in private detention facilities ( concentration camps ) receive money 💰, . . . Perhaps 🧐 privatizing prisons was not such a good idea after all ? Just a wee corrupt and a bit morally abominable methinks / s / 🙄

They gotta fill up those private prison-run concentration camps with someone. Criminals are much harder to kidnap than tourists and families.

First he said it's to help w/ the long lines. Then he said it's to guard the exits. Now it's to check ID. You will see them everywhere, in line to get a coffee once through check in. After deplaning & at the luggage carousel, once out on the curb, over in car rental pickup, in the parking lot, etc

Why are conservative Republicans working so hard to make America the dumbest of all totalitarian regimes? I note this Sunday not a single Republican found any of this offensive to freedom. Not. One.

AND ICE can shoot people who walk the wrong direction in the TSA. area by mistake, and then call the traveling dead domestic terrorists.

The point of this is to train the ICE Gestapo ahead of the November elections, so they can get practice at illegally excluding people. It is also a test of just how effective the deterrent is.

Who can imagine anything going wrong with that? This is going to end very badly for this Adminstration. This is dousing the bad ICE publicity fire with napalm.

So, where the fuck will ICE agents be “checking ID’s?” The screening area is where that happens. Outside of that are the FUCKING RESTAURANTS. Is the Gestapo going to run around with guns and masks, and demand to see your papers?!!!

It's a recipe for disaster. Someone is going to be killed and this time it's going to happen in an airport. Maybe Trump is counting on the threat of that happening to get dems to respond the way he wants them to. But if it hasn't happened so far why would it now? And yes, hate is all they have.

This idea is about as popular with Americans as ICE agents are. “They’ve been shown to be a little brutal and their training does not seem in line with being an official of any form,” Rodney said. “Absolutely not, I’m saying that as an American.”

So instead of adding "threads" for asynchronous task easing, they are adding a layer of extra admin before it ends up hitting the same resource starvation None of these fucks know a shitty ballbag about parallelism and it shows

And how it’s going to restore the confidence of the traveling public by having some angry WoW cosplayer with zero jurisdiction demanding papers. I give it 72 hours before ICE kills someone trying to visit grandma.

Republicans fly, too. I can't imagine many of them will be happy with even more hassle at the airport by a bunch of heavily armed, poorly trained gravy SEALs. There will be blowback from this, and not just from Dems.

With the war in Iran, and chaos and protests against ICE at the airports, Trump is creating loopholes to allow foreign agents to pass into the country easily — through all checkpoints.

Does ICE actually have the authority to demand identification as part of the airport screening procedures, and do citizens have the obligation to present their ID to ICE under these circumstances?

Uh, this is what happens currently. They check your ID and ticket, then you move into screening. This is only adding a layer of threat to extant practices.

TSA training for Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) generally takes 6 months or longer to complete in full, comprising a mix of classroom, on-the-job training. ICE thugs will have none of the training, per usual. What could possibly go wrong 😑

Uh, actually Allied Universal Security does this at 150 airports to make sure you aren't wasting TSA's time before entering the screening area. They make sure you have everything out that will be needed.

Basically making sure you have your boarding pass (paper or electronic) and ID so you're not fumbling around looking for them when you get to screening and to show that you actually belong in the screening line.

14th amendment and the commerce clause specifically state we have the right to travel freely between states without discrimination. Constitution says it plainly not that the border patrol or Ice have been following the law.

I believe this is wrong but how does it violate the terms of sale for airline tickets? Like most people, I've never read the terms. Which does it violate? (serious question)

Next step: ICE "checking ID's" before you go into a theater, Post Office, bank, office building, public library, all under the guise of security (and MAGA will cheer, like they're cheering now, "safe from nukes").

Which will likely slow things down even further. It’s amazing the talent Trump has for coming up with solutions that make the problems worse. He’s been exercising this ability ever since inauguration.

Will ICE wear masks in the airport and not wear identification, as usual? I don't think ICE is qualified to check identification--they certainly haven't exhibited that skill when people are trying to show them ID on the streets of our cities as ICE attacks citizens.

So they’re going to turn one bottleneck into 2? They’ll still have to match IDs to tickets at the security checkpoints. GREAT plan, Tom!!!

1) This presupposes that ice agents can read. 2) This presupposes that ice agents have the fortitude to cope with high customer volumes 3) What happens when a bullet fired by an ice agent hits a trump campaign donor, or as Brett kavanaugh calls them, a person?

if no brown and black people can take a plane, there will be faster Times at the screenings. Great idea to get this warehouses full fast they bought. And if someone resists.. they'll shoot thema and will say: self defense-

Wake up, America! ICE at the airports isn't about "helping" TSA. It's about getting us used to seeing heavily armed Trump Gestapo agents in public places. Expect more of it. It's about conditioning us against shocking sights. Come Nov. 3, we won't be shocked to see ICE at our polling places.

ICE agents have NO training in what TSA agents do. None. In the Trump administration knowing what you are doing is not a required job skill. bsky.app/profile/vinc...

Trump’s Gestapo thugs, aka DHS ICE agents are going to show up at the nation’s airports to “help” beleaguered TSA agents with security screening of passengers. Travelers are advised to be quiet, very quiet, lest they get beaten or shot by ICE goons. vincewade.com/were-from-th...

Data I can find shows there is significantly less ICE than TSA. So even if you used 100% of ICE here and ended all actual ICE enforcement outside, you'd still be short. ICE these days is discussed as if it has infinite man power. It's pretty small, actually. People need to keep this in mind.

I haven’t been screened leaving an airport since the Thanksgiving right after 9/11. Nor have I been screened walking into baggage claim to help someone leave. He’s full of shit.

Oh eff off potato head. Your Ice goons would be trampled by all of the folks with luggage, huge carry-ons, backpacks, jostling & pushing each other through the TSA lines.

This reads make work, redundancy (we'll have to again show ID when our tickets are scanned by TSA?), a way to capture American citizens who don't fit their mold and those immigrants who are here legally (including those in the asylum process), and even longer wait times. Convince me otherwise.

Herr Homan was overdue for this next authoritarian step anyway. Felon47's vote suppression bill is just an excuse for him to threaten Ds. @schumer.senate.gov should tweet back that he'll add more limits to ICE on this bill in amendment stage every day Felon47 threatens him instead of negotiating.

I think we should normalize screaming, “RAPE!!!! MURDER!!!!…” - if any ICE agent tries to touch anyone at an airport - ‘cause (its just a shot away, its just a shot away) I hope my state deploys the Natl’ Guard to protect us from ICE at our airports.
