ICE officers deployed to Washington, DC airports
A security checkpoint at Reagan National Airport has virtually no line during what is normally a busy time of day, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on March 24, 2026. The administration claims it deployed ICE to speed passenger security screening delays caused by a partial government shutdown, but critics characterize the move as an effort to normalize the presence of ICE in public places prior to the midterm elections in November, 2026.
