Tell Congress: Don’t Let Trump Replace TSA With ICE

Travelers are already paying the price for Trump’s refusal to end the DHS shutdown. Now, he’s making the crisis even worse with a political stunt meant to rehab ICE’s image.

With delays mounting, Trump has ordered ICE agents to assist at TSA checkpoints—even though they aren’t trained for airport screening. Experts warn this won’t improve safety. It will create confusion, weaken security, and open the door to profiling and abuse.

Congress must act now. Democrats have offered a clean funding bill to fund the TSA, but Republicans have voted it down 9 times. It’s time for them to support ICE reforms, keep ICE officers out of security lines, and immediately pass a funding bill to ensure airport security stays in the hands of trained professionals.

Tell Congress: “Don’t let Trump replace TSA with ICE. Protect travelers, defend civil liberties, and keep airport security in the hands of trained professionals by funding the TSA now.”

Instead of investing in trained TSA officers, Trump is pushing his anti-immigrant agenda into airports—spaces that should be focused on safety, not fear. Blurring the line between security and immigration enforcement risks turning routine travel into a hostile experience for millions.

Aviation experts and TSA representatives are already sounding the alarm: this move could make airports less safe and delays even worse.

But the longer Republicans refuse to negotiate on TSA funding and commonsense reforms for ICE and Border Patrol officers, the harder it will be to end Trump’s power grab.

It’s time for Republicans in Congress to come to the table, support ICE and Border Patrol reforms, and fund the TSA. Sign now to demand they end air travel delays and keep us safe.

The petition to Congress reads: “Don’t let Trump replace TSA with ICE. Protect travelers, defend civil liberties, and keep airport security in the hands of trained professionals by funding the TSA now.”
