WASHINGTON — Democratic lawmakers expressed alarm this week after ICE agents were deployed to airports and began assisting travelers, with one calling the move “a horrible, horrible idea” and another insisting there was “absolutely no reason” for it, sources have confirmed.
The outrage followed reports that agents were handing out water, directing passengers, and helping overwhelmed TSA staff — actions officials described as “unexpected and deeply confusing.”
“We were told this would create problems,” one lawmaker said. “Instead people are… thanking them.
That’s not how this is supposed to work.”
Sources say the response triggered immediate concern among party strategists, who scrambled to explain why visible assistance during a chaotic travel situation was still, somehow, unacceptable.
“At one point someone suggested this might actually be helpful,” one aide admitted.
“We had to remind them we don’t evaluate things based on results.”
Meanwhile, travelers stuck in long lines praised the extra help, noting shorter wait times and calmer conditions — developments one official dismissed as “anecdotal and highly inconvenient.”
TSA agents also expressed relief at the added support, though several Democrats reportedly questioned whether reducing stress for workers might “set a dangerous precedent.”
Observers say the situation highlights a growing disconnect, with one analyst noting, “At this point, they’d question why the rain stops when you stand under a bridge.”
As of press time, Democrats were reportedly working to confirm whether helping people is still considered problematic depending on who is doing it.
Congress is a useless bunch of bums.The Dems in the Senate finally caved to end this TSA mess, then the jackass GOP House rejects it, and after that they all go on a 2 week recess, most likely avoiding the airport lines as one of their perks. All 535 of them need to be voted out!
I have been racking my brain to figure out one other profession, trade or job I have seen in my entire life where you can be consistently derelict, incompetent, ineffective, subversive, uncommitted, deceitful, or dishonest in the execution of your duties and you are rewarded for it with a two week vacation ! I can’t for the life of me think of a single one, or a single person I have ever meant who has told me about one ! As far as I can tell, these 535 workers are the only such workers to have this benefit out off the hundreds of hard working people we have in the American labor force ! If there are any others, I am sure they are in similar Government jobs in States and locals…
And they should be ashamed, and replaced too !
The house had already passed the budget. What they voted down was the Senates attempt to remove ICE from the budget approval process.
Dumb a crats at it again always trying to create problems/protest violent at that
Politicians are effectively useless. The house does an okay job but the senate is full of know it alls who, in reality, have no clue. Thune couldn’t lead anyone to the bathroom and his RINOs ignore the people. The democrats only vote against anything Trump as a strategy. Both are absolutely criminal in the way they don’t govern.
I am just mystified on how anyone can support the dems after what they have done to the American people. from the TSA debacle to wanting men playing womens sports to supporting DISEASE LADEN ILLEGAL ALIENS and criminals instead AMERICANS.
Absolutely agree. What more is there to say!
Thune and his useless followers signed onto a bill that they evidently didn’t read. Because it passed without funding ICE the Border Patrol and opening the border and that’s why Johnson closed down the house vote. Personally, IMO they are all overpaid and under worked.
A bunch of hipocrits all 435 of them and the 100 in the senate. Why do we have them anyway they do nothing but spend tax dollars not to help us but to buy votes every damn one of them. Time for another revolution to take our country back.
Democrats caused the problem and everyone should blame them. They not only want to support illegals over citizens but also want to destroy the economy so they can run on that in Nov. They count on voters listening to the media and forgetting about how the Dem run Biden years devastated the economy with green new deals — going electric without the means for generating enough electricity and allowing billions of dollars to go to fraudulent NGOs to support only Dem Politicians, their policies, and illegals. Let’s not forgot about how Dem run DOJ forced phone companies (AT&T refused) to wire tap 8 top Rep Senators, Trump, and RNC officials from 2020 on. THAT IS TOTALLY ILLEGA and qualifies as an AUTHORITARIAN TYPE REGIME. We can’t let Dem Party take control even if we don’t like some in Congress.
The daily proven number one danger to society is whenever a democrat or liberal crawls out from under their rock and opens their pie hole.
“Would you like some ICE with your water?”
