Federal immigration agents will “hate” being deployed to assist airport security operations amid Transportation Security Administration (TSA) staffing shortages, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official told Newsweek.

“The HSI agents will hate it,” the official said, referring to Homeland Security Investigations personnel. “I’ve not heard any talk of this within ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations). They want us arresting and deporting aliens.”

The official, who requested anonymity to speak freely, said they first heard about the reassignment when they were contacted by Newsweek over the weekend.

    Good. I want them to have bad days. I hope their job sucks more for them than anyone else. And fuck it, I hope they have a headache and are feeling a bit backed up as well. I want them to stop hurting people, and the worse their job is the less people will sign up to join them and hurt people.
