According to independent journalist Aaron Parnas, ICE agents assigned to assist TSA at 14 different airports across the U.S. are apparently leaving their posts because travelers are snapping photos and capturing videos of them. ¹

Parnas reported that the agents, who are not permitted to wear their masks in performance of this duty, are actually running away from people eager to document their appearance. People using various recording devices — from mobile phones to professional video cameras, as featured in a video from John F. Kennedy International Airport — presumably pursued the agents with the intent to identify members of the forces who have terrorized cities and neighborhoods in recent months.

1. Parnas, A. (2026, March 23). ICE agents are literally running away from photographers and videographers across the country as we speak, because Donald Trump deployed ICE agents to 14 airports across America, and said they can’t wear masks. . . so he has accidentally unmasked his own ICE agents. . .
