We know they're at several other major airports in places like Houston, New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago, according to border czar Tom Homan.

President Trump is sending in ICE agents to several major airports across the country with the hopes of helping out these TSA workers who have still gone with a $0 paycheck.

And so this all comes as DHS is announcing that...

TSA workers had the highest nationwide call out numbers yesterday at over 11 percent.

But at significant major airports all across the countries, we've seen 20 to 30 to more than 40 percent of TSA workers calling out.

And this is the result of that painfully slow lines here in Atlanta, as well as other major airports across the country.

People have been waiting in hours in these TSA lines as TSA workers are still receiving $0 paychecks amid this partial government shutdown.

Right now, there is more than 400 TSA workers who have quit altogether, and the call-out rates are just increasing by the day.

The lines here at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport have been astronomical for the last several days, really, but especially today, people have been waiting for three, four hours in these lines.

People are missing flights, some making it

just before the boarding doors close.

So this has been a lot for people traveling as these TSA officers continue to go with $0 paychecks.

And that is all part of the reason why President Trump is wanting to send in ICE agents to help alleviate some of the stress from these TSA officers, hopefully make these lines go a little bit quicker.

It's something that a lot of passengers would likely welcome, as we have been seeing painfully long TSA lines all across the country, including here at Hartsfield-Jackson.

People waiting for well over an hour to finally get through TSA.

Travelers packing the hallways of this airport, some arriving three, four hours before their flights.

This is all happening as TSA workers are continuing to get $0 paychecks.

Many are calling out sick, quarantined.

quitting, finding other jobs, as a lot of these workers can't even afford basic necessities.

Travelers we've talked to are obviously frustrated, but they only blame the government.
