TSA-Beamte schnappen schließlich, als sie auf ICE loslassen: „Abhängen und nichts tun“

>Unpaid Transportation Security Officers at one of the nation’s busiest airports finally lost it at ICE as security check lines go crazy — and the immigration agents apparently have nothing to do.

>Kyle Pigott, a TSA officer and union president who represents his colleagues at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport, snapped Wednesday, three days after Trump ordered the controversial ICE agents in to „help out.“

>But, Pigott said, the untrained army of armed agents is unable to perform anything that’s remotely helpful.

>“They’re the reason that we’re not getting paid,“ he told the website Curbed, which is an offshoot of New York Magazine, referring to the government shutdown that’s left TSA agents unpaid for weeks. It stems from a refusal by Democrats to fund ICE as part of the Department of Homeland Security budget.

>“And now I’m working next to that person. And they’re getting paid to do nothing. They’re not trained. It takes six months to train a Transportation Security Officer. They’ve received none of that.

>“A tweet went out and the next day they’re at the airport walking around sipping coffees, holding on to their vest. They arrived on Monday, and now they’re hanging out in the break room doing nothing. They’re warming up their lunch. I don’t know what you’re hungry from — you didn’t do anything!
