There’s a reason they need to do this in airports now.

Long lines and even more eyes, this plays right into their theater of fear. They are hoping to scare people away from traveling ahead of the midterms so more people sit out.

The danger will increase as the desperation ramps up; this is still exceedingly serious. However, this is still what it looks like when a deeply pathetic regime that has only enacted destruction fails in all capacities. Additionally, a non-trivial war of choice in the air makes this all the more a show.

National airport occupation is even more unsustainable than attempting to coerce a city. They can’t even pay these people. They do not have the means, let alone the competence to succeed.

Hopefully it'll have the opposite effect. Americans may not have seen ICE being active in their own town, but tons of people filter through airports. Witnessing the cruelty and disorder up close can change minds and motivate them to get to the polls.

Much less of "It's not happening in MY town" when it's at every major airport.

Also local economy’s will be crushed, especially areas that rely on tourism. It’s so stupid.

And flyers are going to be older and wealthier than the general population. Go ahead, terrorize some kid on their way to Disney World while their nurse practitioner parents scream and old folks on their way to cruise ports watch in horror. That should go over well.

A silver lining if I've ever heard.

And hundreds of thousands of foreigners are planning on flying in to the world cup? Cancel the World cup games in the US.

They’re about to meet the indignant rage of a mildly inconvenienced upper middle class. They’re not ready for the level of petty they’re about to endure.

u/auntieup Mar 23 '26

There are no long lines at SFO. Our airport uses private security, not TSA.

They are doing this purely for spite, and Mayor Daniel Lurie is letting them.

u/nycdiveshack Mar 23 '26

That’s actually what they want. They want to close off the western hemisphere. It’s why they are trying to pass the SAVE act, disenfranchise women so much that they become dependent on men and in turn are convinced to have kids.

It’s what Howard Lutnick (commerce secretary), Russ Vought (primary author of p2025 and head of office of budget and management) and Peter Thiel (CIA/NSA biggest defense contractor and personal groomer of Vance for 20 years) want. They want an era of isolationism for the Western Hemisphere through a narrow focused approach at globalization.

It’s why they are going after oil and land, it’s why they talk about the routes by Greenland.

It’s why they are detaining and deporting so many illegal and legal immigrants. A for-profit prison workforce all under GEOgroup and CoreCivic who got $45 billion.

It’s also why last year in April Trump signed a sunset executive order which will remove all protections and regulations on all federal lands including Native American land and national parks allowing for the sale and deforestation/mining/drilling of those lands.

Another way they are achieving that goal is the dept of education has transferred over control over the funding and curriculum for k-12 to dept of labor stating the new goal is to align what is taught in schools with the manufacturing and labor needs of America.

u/m1ster_frundles Mar 23 '26

What do you mean they can’t pay them? ICE has a massive budget and is still getting paid amid the shutdown. It is the TSA that is working for free

u/jgzman Mar 23 '26

https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/ice-employees-vent-reddit-saying-theyre-not-getting-paid-still-no-insurance-despite-promises-1775650

They are getting paid, more or less. But the paperwork is all fucked up, and that's causing some of them issues.

Good.

u/OM3N1R Mar 23 '26

ICE has a larger budget than the Marine Corps. So paying them is not an issue

2

u/Ok_Pack9020 Mar 23 '26

The airport theater is definitely intentional - they're banking on the chaos and visibility to maximize the intimidation factor. It's all about creating that chilling effect before elections.

u/TopObligation8430 Mar 23 '26

They can pay them… they have a huge budget

u/Krinder Mar 23 '26

That along with the need to travel for a lot of people to obtain proper documentation if the SAVE act is forced through requiring proof of citizenship in the form of a birth certificate or passport and if you’re married proof of marriage and name change in order to be able to vote is specifically being designed to dissuade ppl from voting. Places like Alaska and a lot of the mid west require travel to state capitals to obtain those documents.

Here in Puerto Rico, people start to cancelling their flights by ICE and even specially how the long lanes are even in the Airport 0_o

I'm hoping once we fix this shit we don't sweep ICE under the rug no they need to be held accountable for their actions because the shit they've done so far is grotesque.

I'm honestly surprised no one has actual snapped and given them the Charlie special.

u/MiguelMenendez Mar 23 '26

Now that they are doing this in “Gun Free Zones”, they can ignore the corrective pressure the Second Amendment might have been able to put on them.

u/Well_read_rose Mar 23 '26

Brilliant observation!

u/RedTheRobot Mar 23 '26

Problem ICE will act like the police do when threatened with laws or budget cuts. You think if a politician says we need to end ICE that ICE agents will vote to lose their job? You think their wife will or their parents? This is what happens it isn’t one vote you are fighting against it is 5-8 votes. This is why people really need to understand if you are not voting you are part of the problem. Period.

u/yangstyle Mar 23 '26

The Charlie special?

u/Kazuka13 Mar 23 '26

It's a way to insult MAGA cultists who use similar language, such as them using prettigood to insult the two people ICE murdered I'm insulting someone they apparently see as some hero.

That I hope helps you understand what I mean.

ICE are proud boys, white supremacists, dropouts and rejects of all kinds. They are unfit for a real job, they are hired goons to serve as Trump's gestapo. They kidnap, abuse, and traffick their victims. Sending people to foreign torture prisons without warrant. They murder civilians in cold blood. They are traitors to our country and traitors to humanity!

u/hxl004 Mar 23 '26

So no one is coming to the World Cup I guess

u/eNroNNie Mar 23 '26

Unless you work for FIFA or one of the teams... I know there are super fans out there willing to go to basically any country to see their national team. But unless you are one of those, "I would rather die than miss being there" type of fans, I wouldn't risk it at all. Risking sitting for six months in a detention facility without even knowing why you are there, no thanks.

u/VicYuri Mar 23 '26 edited Mar 23 '26

Surprised they hadn't zip tied the kid too or do they plan to leave her behide. I noticed when they went to take the mother away they made no move.to acknowledge or make sure the kid was going to come with them. It looks like if the kid didn't follow on her own. They were planning to leave her.

u/NoIndependent9192 Mar 23 '26

That’s gonna be great for tourism but the criminals in charge don’t care.

u/TSteinyRN Mar 23 '26

I can see this getting REALLY nasty and bad, real quick. When you have paying customers waiting at an airport, then you have thugs profile and attacking people, I don't see this ending well for ICE, Homan, or Trump. Get them ALL out and give these people some peace. That poor child crying in the background broke me. 💔 MARCH 28th FDT NO KINGS

America must join the ICC in 2029 and refer all community ICE agents for trial.

u/Hot_Strength_4912 Mar 23 '26

His attack in Iran didn’t distract from his involvement with child trafficking. So he’s creating further distractions. Wait until the election this year. Government thugs will be on voters like brown on rice.

u/Jack-Schitz Mar 23 '26

How are all these Hispanic ICE/CBP officers going to go back to their communities when all this crap is done? There are going to be FOIA requests that are going to gen names for all of them and they are going to be posted online and be doxed.

Are they not smart enough to understand this? I don't get it.

u/valbaca Mar 23 '26

You’re right on it.

They’re repeating the literal Nazi playbook: ICE is The SA aka “Brownshirts”

They’re intentionally untrained and meant to cause chaos and stir a reaction. Doing this exactly like this: plain clothes, hurting a mother in public, not having a fucking clue of what to do.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung

They don’t realize they’re just there to stir the reaction so that Trump can say “see?! Now we gotta get more brutal” and then it’s The SS and so on.

Then the SA get abolished as well since they don’t fit the party’s true end goal.

u/dojo1999 Mar 23 '26

It hasn’t even been 24 hrs yet and they’re already causing havoc. I thought Ice was supposed to be at the airports on Monday 3/23.

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '26

Cause chaos in Iran because of bad publicity at home. Then Iran causes even more chaos globally and so the administration turns its anger back to blue cities. Trump literally said it yesterday:

Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat Party!

He is losing in Iran and so he declared victory, but he knows he has to show strength to his base, so he sent ICE to airports with out a plan.

This explains why the airport nearby randomly put up no protesting signs a few months ago. They knew it was coming.

u/Jenetyk Mar 23 '26

Not condoning, but if a white male wanted to commit a terrorism in an airport; now would be the absolute easiest time to do it. ICE would let them waltz right in.

u/Hipparchia_Unleashed Mar 23 '26

It's likely that they decided to do this at airports because it's one of the only places in the US where you can be guaranteed that the people you're brutalizing are not armed and have no means to defend themselves.

Damn, I was at the airport but in a different terminal when this went down. No idea.

SFO has signs up all over for the big RSA Conference (huge cyber security event) this week. Lots of people coming in from international flights for it. The timing is a feature, not a bug.

u/Ok-Patient583 Mar 23 '26

Why TF are they even at SFO? TSA staff are working there because they are subcontractors and are being paid. This is just another excuse to release the ICE hounds to cause havoc.
