reak travel underway and as a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security has dragged on since mid-February

Denver International Airport is not on a list obtained by CNN of 13 airports where deployments of federal immigration agents were expected Monday.

The Trump administration deployed ICE agents to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to assist short-staffed TSA officers amid the partial federal shutdown. Why it matters: The administration's move thrusts the agency that sparked the shutdown with its conduct in Minnesota into the nation's airports to deal with the consequences.

The Trump administration has deployed ICE agents to over a dozen U.S. airports amid an ongoing federal shutdown that's causing long wait times. Eyewitnesses have already recorded at least one arrest in San Francisco's airport.

Passengers at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport could see ICE agents working at security checkpoints starting Monday.

As Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers prepare to deploy to airports starting Monday to assist Transportation Security Administration agents, border czar Tom Homan outlined a limited support role focused on tasks such as guarding exits and easing passenger flow.

Tom Homan, President Trump’s chief border official, cast the operation largely as one to help ease long security lines. The Homeland Security Department said 14 airports across the country would be involved.

Federal immigration agents will soon be loitering around airport security lines to lend a not-helping hand. This is likely to end poorly.

President Donald Trump said he would tap ICE agents to run security at US airports as unpaid TSA officers stop showing up to work.
