ICE agents are being deployed to some airports across the country to address TSA staffing shortages, but Sacramento International Airport officials have stated there are no plans to use them as support for operations. Critics question whether ICE agents are suitable for the role, stating they lack background or skills to support the needs of the agents. While there were rumors of a protest at the airport, no groups showed up. Security wait times at Sacramento International remain consistent with what they were prior to the shutdown, even as some TSA employees have been working without pay.
