Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy states that ICE agents are trained and can provide assistance to TSA agents because they run similar security machines at the southern border.

“This claim is made within a satirical context. Sean Duffy, a former congressman, has never served as the U.S. Secretary of Transportation; the video is set in a fictional future (March 2026). Furthermore, the claim satirizes real events, such as the 2019 government shutdown, when Department of Homeland Security personnel were deployed to airports. During that time, officials stated that these officers would assist with support tasks like line management but would not perform security screening, as they were not trained for that specific role, contradicting the assertion in the claim. Context: This claim is from a satirical segment of "The Daily Show" imagining future events. The premise that Sean Duffy is the Transportation Secretary is fictional. The segment is mocking past government actions, such as deploying other DHS agents to airports during staff shortages.”
