The fight over armed ICE agents at airports is not just another procedural dispute in Washington. It is a clash over what airports are supposed to be, how federal power should look in public, and whether immigration enforcement should become a visible part of ordinary domestic travel. Last week, Representative John Garamendi joined Representatives Jesús “Chuy” García, Robert Garcia, Ro Khanna, and dozens of other House members in sending a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, Acting ICE leadership, and White House border officials opposing the deployment of armed ICE agents to airports across the country.
