No ICE Agents At Colorado Airports As Security Lines Stay Short

As President Donald Trump deployed immigration agents to help U.S. airports manage hours‑long security lines during the partial government shutdown, Denver International Airport remained relatively calm on Monday.

At the nation’s third‑busiest airport, TSA PreCheck lanes remained open to start the week.

By noon, security remained easy to get through, with both the West and East checkpoints showing minimal waits of about five minutes, according to the airport’s live tracker.

In a statement to The Denver Gazette, an airport spokesperson said as of Monday, security is still “operating normally.”

“At this time, we have not received any communication indicating that ICE agents will be staffing our checkpoints,” the spokesperson added.

The Colorado Springs Airport posted this statement on its social media: “Colorado Springs Airport (COS) is aware of reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel are being deployed to airports identified as having high TSA employee call-out rates. Colorado Springs Airport is not included among these locations.”
