No ICE agents took up Transportation Security Administration roles at Logan Airport in Boston Monday as President Donald Trump orders federal immigration agents to beleaguered airports, the local union said. ICE agents were not deployed to any New England airport, according to Mike Gayzagian, the president of AFGE Local 2617, the New England branch of the TSA officers’ union. Agents could come next week, but those rumors are unsubstantiated, Gayzagian said. A group of DHS officers were seen at Logan Monday and indicated to The Boston Globe they were part of a “Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response” operation, a TSA specialized security team that has been in operation for years, the paper reported. As the partial government shutdown continues into its second month, funding for DHS, including U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is at the center of the shutdown. Trump said Sunday he would send ICE agents to airports starting Monday. Massport confirmed ICE agents were not deployed at Logan International Airport, but deferred to the TSA. Speaking for TSA, DHS declined to say if agents were deployed to New England airports, citing “operational security reasons.” ICE agents were deployed to 14 airports, CNN reported, where airport wait times were reaching multiple hours. Logan Airport, where the majority of TSA agents have stayed at work, has so far avoided the delays plaguing other major hubs. Here are the airports, per CNN, where ICE agents were deployed, where Trump promised they would arrest “all Illegal Immigrants.“.
