ICE agents were seen at Newark Airport today, though the extent of their involvement in security operations remains unclear as the partial government shutdown continues to strain TSA staffing.

News 12 cameras captured footage of ICE agents inside the airport.

Security lines at Newark have been unpredictable, ranging from just five minutes to nearly an hour across Terminals A, B and C.Longer wait times are being reported nationwide because federal officials say hundreds of TSA agents have quit or called out during the shutdown.

Newark may also face heavier traffic today due to the shutdown of LaGuardia Airport.

President Donald Trump announced that ICE agents would assist TSA workers by guarding exit lanes or checking passenger IDs.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill said sending untrained ICE agents to staff airports is not an acceptable solution.It remains unclear which airports will ultimately receive ICE support or how long the deployment will last.

Weather concerns and increased spring break travel could also slow operations at Newark today.
