So they're on this wider list of people who ICE is looking for.

And so this was what the administration and Tom Homan calls a targeted enforcement operation, a targeted arrest.

Yeah, ICE agents are not going to be like sweeping through the airports looking for people to arrest.

How do you know?

Because those are not their operational orders.

Look at the images that we've seen so far.

They're standing around chatting with each other and they're handing out water bottles and they're doing, you know, a soft PR campaign.

What would be the political backlash after Minneapolis of having ICE agents sweeping through the airports, grabbing people and confronting U.S.

citizens and harassing U.S.

citizens?

There doesn't seem to be a lot of appetite in the White House for that right now.

Yeah.

I mean, I think there's some long-term damage being done to TSA, right?

This is like, what, the third time that they've not gotten paid?

You know, reportedly hundreds of officers have quit.

And what kind of message does this send as a recruitment?

I mean, one of the crazy things about this is that TSA officers, they're not really law enforcement officers.

They're performing this vital function, but they're making like 40 to 50 grand a year.

Meanwhile, you have ICE, you know, in some cases, Homeland Security Special Investigators,

who are making $150,000 to $200,000 a year and who are supposed to be investigating drug cartels and human traffickers, and they're out there standing around in the airport making five times as much as the TSA agents are supposed to be replacing.
