Do we know how long ICE officers will be in airports, considering that many of them can't do the job that TSA officers do? Well, as long as we're seeing long, long lines like we have in places like George Bush Intercontinental in Houston, which has a callout rate of 36%, or in Baltimore's airport, which has a callout rate of 38%, Tom Homan, the border czar, telling our colleague Margaret Brennan, they will be there as long as is necessary. But you're right, Lindsey, they cannot do all the jobs. They can help traffic passengers through the lines. They can check IDs. They can do some of those, guarding of the exit near the TSA screening. But they can't use the heavy machinery. They can't look for security anomalies in the scanners. So they can only do so much. But we should expect see them there at least for a few more weeks. And of course, the concern that for some of the larger events we have coming up, for instance, the World Cup this summer, that we might need to tap those DHS resources again, when you see an influx of US-bound travelers.

And those ICE officers getting paid because of money allocated from the so-called Big Beautiful Bill passed last summer. Nicole Sganga, thank you.
