ATLANTA (AP) -- More federal immigration officers are making their way to U.S. airports after President Donald Trump said he'd deploy them to supplement the Transportation Security Administration during a government shutdown that has caused long lines at security checkpoints across the country.
On Monday morning, a handful of federal officers were seen by The Associated Press near busy lines at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. And a handful of other airports -- including Louis Armstrong International in New Orleans, as well as Houston's George Bush Intercontinental and William P. Hobby airports -- said Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers would also be on site to support TSA operations.
