The US Department of Homeland Security has deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to several major airports as of March 23, 2026, amid a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) staffing crisis caused by a partial government shutdown. ICE personnel are providing support at hubs like Atlanta (ATL), New York (JFK), and Newark (EWR), but not at Orlando International Airport (MCO). Travelers to Disney parks face extended wait times at understaffed checkpoints.
The US Department of Transportation has canceled 13 current or planned routes of Mexican airlines from Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) and Mexico City International Airport (AICM) to its territory. This action responds to Mexico's non-compliance with the 2015 bilateral aviation agreement, as announced by Secretary Sean Duffy. It affects Viva Aerobus, Aeroméxico, and its subsidiary Connect, impacting flights to cities like Houston, New York, and Los Angeles.
