ICE agents deployed to NYC-area airports amid partial US government shutdown
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been deployed to several New York City-area airports in response to the ongoing partial government shutdown.
The move is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to continue enforcing immigration laws despite the shutdown, which has left many government agencies without funding.
ICE officials have stated that the agents will focus on identifying and deporting immigrants who are in the country illegally and pose a public safety threat.
