Bannon says ICE at airports 'test run' for 2026 elections
Former White House strategist Steve Bannon claims that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers assisting with airport operations is a test run for the 2026 midterm elections. ICE officers have begun supporting Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers at multiple airports due to a shortage of TSA workers.
ICE officers are helping TSA officers at airports due to a worker shortage. This move is seen as a test run for the 2026 elections by some. The officers will relieve TSA workers from non-security tasks. President Trump said the move was his idea and will continue for as long as needed. ICE officers will not directly assist with security screenings.
