ICE agents at airports, including Dulles, as partial government shutdown drags on
Published on March 24, 2026.
Several U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were present at Dulles International Airport amid the partial government shutdown. The deployment is part of an effort to bolster security at major airports due to staffing concerns. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would not confirm the locations of the agents. This has led to more than 400 of the remaining 400 TSA officers to leave and thousands of call-outs due to financial issues. The American Federation of Government Employees expressed confusion over how ICE will be assisting TSA workers.
