Tom Homan Announces A Concept Of A Plan For ICE To Handle Airport Security

Border Czar Tom Homan made an appearance on this Sunday's State of the Union on CNN, and was asked about Trump's threat to send his ICE thugs to airports across the country to supposedly help TSA agents with the long security lines caused by TSA staffing shortages following a partial government shutdown.

Trump announced those agents were going to deploy this Monday, although there's no confirmation as to which airports they would be deployed at. When Dana Bash tried to pin Homan down on just how exactly any of this was going to work, Homan was short on specifics and had to admit that the ICE agents are not trained to handle most of the work TSA agents do, and they would not be operating any X-ray equipment.

BASH: President Trump posted on TRUTH Social -- quote -- "If the radical left Democrats don't immediately sign an agreement to let our country, in particular, our airports, be free and safe again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE agents to the airports, where they will do security like no one has ever seen before."

Now, in a subsequent post, he said that he instructed ICE agents to be ready by Monday. And now the president is saying that you, sir, are going to be in charge. How is that going to work? Are ICE agents going to move into American airports starting tomorrow, Monday?

HOMAN: Yes.

C&L's Late Nite Music Club: Mozart: The Magic Flute – Queen Of The Night

When I first heard this aria, it knocked me down.

ClassicFM: "Known in German as ‘Der Hölle Rache’, this is an utterly stunning aria of vocal power and virtuosity from Mozart’s late opera The Magic Flute. It’s written for dramatic coloratura soprano and demands huge range and vocal might, as well as colour and agility. Listen out for vicious long runs and famous staccato notes up to a top F as the mother of the opera’s heroine, Pamina, vents her considerable rage."

Soprano Diana Damrau rips her way through this monumental work.

This was a 2025 performance from the Royal Ballet and Opera.

Open thread.

Judge Rules Pentagon Cannot Block The NYT Anymore

Pete Kegseth is going to need an extra shot of tequila tonight to soothe his hurt fee fees after losing a big court case today regarding press access to the Pentagon. Here is what happened: In October 2025, Hegseth attempted to force news organizations to sign some sort of document related to their reporting, effectively limiting what they could say, even if the information was unclassified. That was a huge departure from previous administrations.

The policy led to dozens of journalists being effectively shut out of the Pentagon because they refused to sign the insane policy. Included in the exodus were the Washington Post and the New York Times. In their place, dozens of right wing and internet personalities signed and were granted journalist passes. Utter insanity.

Well, the New York Times and one of its reporters, Julian Barnes, SUED. And they won! A federal judge in DC on Friday struck down the Department of Defenses new policy, deeming it unconstitutional.

The judge referenced the war in Iran, stating that it is “more important than ever that the public have access to information from a variety of perspectives about what its government is doing.”

The DOJ had no comment, but Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell posted on twitter that they plan to appeal.
