How is ICE being deployed to assist TSA operations at airports?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Monday, March 23rd, 2026, and this is your AM Update.
I think you're going to see more TSA agents. They're going to quit or they're not going to show up.
With the fight over DHS funding dragging on, TSA agents miss paychecks and call out of work as the White House prepares to send in ICE to assist at overwhelmed airports. An illegal immigrant from Venezuela now in custody after allegedly gunning down a young college student in Chicago.
The president will take whatever steps it takes to achieve those goals.
A new escalation threat from President Trump against Iran amid a deadline tonight as new polling shows Americans growing increasingly uneasy about the war. And the search for Nancy Guthrie stretches into its seventh week as the Guthrie family delivers a pleading new public message. All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.

Amid a continued impasse on Capitol Hill over DHS funding, a partial shutdown now dramatically impacting airports across the country. TSA agents are currently not being paid, leading some to call out sick to take other jobs, others outright quitting. The result, chaos at airports during a busy spring break, with several major airports facing hours-long security lines. Funding for the department lapsing in mid-February thanks to Democrats demanding reforms to ICE and Border Patrol before they will agree to a full funding package.
Ironically, ICE and other immigration enforcement is still being funded thanks to the big beautiful bill signed by President Trump last summer. But DHS as a whole is not, including other divisions like the TSA. Democrats pushing to finance some DHS departments like TSA and the Coast Guard until an agreement can be reached on ICE and CBP reforms. Republicans so far insisting on full funding for the entire department, triggering another failed Senate vote last week. 60 votes are required to advance the legislation, requiring at least some Democrat support.
What escalation threat did President Trump issue against Iran?
Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania so far the only Dem to cross party lines and vote to fund DHS. President Trump on Saturday floating a unique potential solution, posting to Truth Social, quote, If the radical left Democrats don't immediately sign an agreement to let our country, in particular our airports, be free and safe again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE agents to the airports where they will do security like no one has ever seen before. Borders are Tom Homan yesterday on CNN confirming plans are underway.
Are ICE agents even remotely trained to handle security at airports? ICE agents receive a high level of training. And, you know, ICE agents are assigned at many airports across the country already. They do a lot of investigation, criminal investigation on smuggling at airports. But, you know, there's got TSA agents covering exits. You know, certainly a highly trained ICE law enforcement officer can cover an exit.
What is the latest update on the search for Nancy Guthrie?
It makes people don't go through those exits.
