Talk show host John Stewart recently criticized President Donald Trump over a plan to send

immigration and customs enforcement agents to help with airport security.

Trump announced the move on March 22nd through his true social platform, aiming to assist

transportation security administration workers, facing long lines.

The deployment comes as many TSA agents have quit or called out sick, unpaid due to partial

government shutdowns.

Trump described the idea as simple and original, like a long-forgotten invention, amid broader

tensions including queues at checkpoints nationwide.

Stewart slammed the decision as wildly misguided, comparing it to using high stress enforcers

in a high-pressure setting.

He called the whole concept foolish and questioned who approved it in the first place.

Times have now been placed at 14 major airports, including those in New York, Atlanta, and

Houston.

Officials say this should ease bottlenecks, though some worry it adds unnecessary tension

to travel.

As lines persist and shut down talks drag on, the move highlights ongoing clashes over

federal funding and border security priorities.
