CBP Chief Homan tells CNN's Dana Bash ICE will deploy to US airports on Monday but no one has a fucking idea about the details.

No link yet.

Got up late this morning, turned on CNN, got in on the end of CNN Dana Bash interview with Tom Homan, Trump's "border czar" who said, yes, ICE agents will deploy to US airports starting Monday.

He was very evasive about details, probably because no one has a goddam clue as to what they are doing.

Here is what I recall from the tail end of the interview:

Bash: Which airports?
Homan: We haven't thought about that.

Bash: How many agents?
Homan: We haven't thought about that.

Bash: What will they do?
Homan: We haven't thought about that.

So -- looks as though Trump and his band of idiot children have pulled another stunt out of their asses.

EDITED BY AUTHOR:

Is this perhaps Trump's plan all along?

-- Dramatically increase size of ICE as his private army?
-- Deploy them EVERYWHERE -- streets, courthouses, churches, now airports?
-- Put in place "Papers please" and if you don't comply -- beat the shit out of you or worse?

1. Tom, where's that fifty thousand dollars bro? The money that was in the paper bag? That you thought was a bribe?

Where is the fucking money, pig

2. Will they still be wearing masks? Hope they don't shoot someone.

3. Deploying these nitwits?

ICE thugs couldn't figure out how to use coffee maker. And he thinks they can swoop in and take over the x-rays and CAT scanners? How are they going to work the computers that verify identities given that they regard Real ID as fake. Those airport lines are going to be epic!

4. If they are still therr by my next flight, im cancelling it

[The Madcap]

7. Same here.

I would rather lose the money than be around these people.

5. It will be fine

No Training
Detaining all those non-white "suspicious people"
Masked
Gun toting
Randomly strip searching women

Good on the Democrats for holding firm on DHS/Ice Funding. Don't surrender now!

[Snarkoleptic]

6. ICE seems to be staffed with unqualified dullards and J6'ers.

I won't be flying while these mouth-breathers are scanning luggage and passengers.
I also read there are around 60,000 TSA employees and only around 22,000 ICE d-bags, so this is just another stupid tantrum.

8. They are already horrible at escalation of force!

Now they're gonna tag screening to their responsibilities. What's the worst that could happen?

[Biophilic]

11. You had to ask, didn't you. You just had to ask...

Republicans seem way too good at answering this question, 'what's the worse that could happen?'

[Lovie777]

9. This won't go well...............

the continued terrorizing of US citizens.

[CrispyQ]

10. Maybe this will wake all the sleeping Americans who didn't pay attention to ICE activities in Minnesota.

Cuz there are a lot, you know. People who would rather tune out than deal with reality. People who think they aren't political or that politics doesn't affect them. I can't believe these guys are going to behave any better in airports than they did on the streets of MN, so maybe if they disrupt all of America's vacation plans, & not just a couple of cities, people will start to take this authoritarian shit seriously.

12. This is the result of allowing them to continue

Operating during a shutdown, it’s almost like it was planned.

13. Why not lay off ICE goons

and pay TSA with their money.

[CanonRay]

14. It will all be in blue cities.

The purpose is to cause chaos, and take the focus off Iran and Epstein.

[Ferrets are Cool]

15. What could go wrong?
