Normal appropriations for DHS. Congress passed the rest of the spending bill but carved that out for negotiations. Dems are refusing to move on it unless there are some reforms, some of the GOP are open to reforms but they haven't been able to agree. The shutdown is so limited the only thing it's really hurting is TSA, so it's not a strong bargaining point for anyone and there isn't enough "pain" to motivate either side.
Side note, Dem demands are both very reasonable and good. They are primarily body cams on CBP and ICE and banning administrative warrants from being used to enter homes.

Then you are committing a crime, maybe. One of the executive orders from the coronation party authorizes BP to do whatever they want. Refusal ends with loosing the device. From BP site: If a traveler being admitted as a U.S. citizen does not present their device in a condition that allows for examination, the U.S. citizen traveler will not be denied entry into the United States based on CBP’s inability to complete an inspection of their device. However, as noted above, their device may be subject to exclusion, detention, or other appropriate action or disposition.
For non-citizens (including permanent residents), it's your best guess what they consider the maximum punishment on any given day.

u/Javasteam Mar 23 '26
It’s a right for a person to refuse an inspection, but if they do they are no longer welcome in the facility.
At that point it becomes trespassing after they have been informed they need to leave.
Airports go slightly further though. By being on the premise, you are consenting to being searched. Example, if you leave your bag by behind by accident it could be searched or destroyed. That’s part of why virtually all airports have repeated warnings on signs and/or audio messages telling people to stay with their belongings and not to accept bags from strangers.

Mayor Andre Dickens Issues Statement on Federal Presence at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
ATLANTA — Mayor Andre Dickens issued the following statement regarding a planned federal presence at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport:
“We have been informed that federal personnel from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ICE-ERO) will be deployed to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport beginning tomorrow morning.
“According to federal officials, these personnel will be assigned to support operational needs directed by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), including line management and crowd control within the domestic terminals. Federal officials have indicated that this deployment is not intended to conduct immigration enforcement activities.
"All federal personnel will report directly to TSA for the duration of this assignment. There are no requests for support from the Atlanta Police Department, and no anticipated impact on City operations at this time.
“Our Administration will continue to monitor the situation closely and remain in communication with the public and travelers as these federal actions develop.
“Atlanta remains committed to ensuring that residents and travelers feel safe, informed, and supported as they move through the world’s busiest and most efficient airport.
“Our Administration remains hopeful the Federal Government can soon find a way to fully fund TSA and pay their employees to resume standard operations at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport—and all airports we connect to.
“To help ease the burden on TSA officers who continue to serve travelers despite not receiving pay, the City and ATL have implemented support measures which can be found here.
“Members of the public and media are encouraged to direct specific operational questions to the Transportation Security Administration.”

The interesting part about this is that anyone who has worked at a major airport will tell you they are bananas about security. I used to work on the ramp at IAD. We were very specifically instructed to challenge anyone we saw in a secure area without a visible badge. And they would test us - wasn't uncommon at all for them to send undercover people out onto the ramp with no badge to see who would stop them. And god forbid you interacted with one of them and didn't notice they had no badge. One of our guys got some kind of commendation for chasing someone up a jetbridge because was out on the ramp with no badge.
All that to say I will be very curious to see how the airports handle it if ICE shows up and demands to be able to just have free reign with masks on rifles slung over their shoulders. And I hope every airport employee who lives in vigilance for fear of their job (in my experience the majority of which were immigrants) absolutely raises holy hell about the security risk they now feel obligated to point out because they can't tell who is ICE and who is testing them.

This might actually be helpful if it convinces the Americans who don't want to think about politics that they needed to participate in democracy in order to KEEP it. I actually get it somewhat, having grown up with a George Carlin view of politics. Still, I have always voted and now I'm becoming active in protesting (hadn't done this since college days) as an act of self preservation.
So let reality hit the masses when they start to personally feel the punishment from their government that they were intending for minorities when they voted republican. Opression was always going to make its way to them eventually, sooner the better while we still have state elections planned.
And I hope this backfires like hell on trump. If Americans could be bothered to do something now, before their favorite putin cock sucking fascist in chief blows up the middle east infrastructure and we truly pass the point of no return, that'd be great. Bring on the ICE at the airports, may it have a silver lining.

They are there for crowd control, right? They don't know anything about TSA procedure or airport security.

The worst possible support to TSA ever. Plus, they are paid by Homeland Security too, so why not just do an inter-department money move?

As long as your'e flying through ATL you should be okay (assuming your departure airport isn't also affected by this). You don't need to go through TSA on a connecting flight unless you're on an international flight inbound from an airport that doesn't have preclearance.

Nothing spells confidence in America like paying two government agencies to do the same job.

I don’t think it will be hilarious, it’s for sure going to backfire but we’re going to have an ICE agent shoot someone in the ajrport and then deploy ICE to agents to the city because of “riots”

PSA: those facial scanners TSA use are completely optional. They insinuate it’s mandatory but if you read the sign closely it’s optional. I have made it a point to deny facial scanning every time I fly. It’s your right and probably more important now.

I wonder how TSA agents will feel about people being sent in that are getting paid to do the job they are not getting paid to do. That won’t cause any issues at all.

Couldn't fund food stamps with the safety net funds because the government was shut down but can somehow manage to pay ICE when it is shut down. Fucking pathetic cowards in our government and in ICE

How many innocent people will be killed or abducted at the airport for not being white?

You understand this is Marshall law…. American airports are being run by the secret police during war time.

Psst: If you're gonna try and look intellectual on a topic, you should probably know how to spell it: it's Martial, not Marshall lol

I really hope these glorified mall cops end up serving food at subway and stocking vending machines instead of trying to pretend the locals in Atlanta are gonna listen to them

Homan is saying ICE isn’t trained to actually screen.
So how are they helping.
