Statement by Governor Mikie Sherrill on Reports of ICE at U.S. Airports

Date: March 22, 2026

Governor Mikie Sherrill on Sunday issued a statement responding to reports of ICE presence at U.S. airports, criticizing the Trump administration’s approach and calling for greater support for TSA.

According to the statement released by the Governor’s office:

“Every time Donald Trump gets involved, he creates chaos for the American people. This latest proposal is no different. Trump’s ICE has a track record of making communities less safe, and sending untrained ICE agents to staff our airports is not an acceptable solution. Instead, it’s time for Donald Trump and Washington Republicans to do their jobs and fund TSA.”
