ICE is getting paid, TSA is taking care of you for free, selling blood to pay for gas.”“Maybe thank the TSA workers who are working while not getting paid, you tone deaf b----,” offered roxygirl7985.Editor Ricky Chu asked, “Is everything just a social media photo op?”“Why don’t you thank the TSA agents who are working without pay?

Not cool enough without the tactical vests?” asked Jazzmom 2.0.Gina 660 dryly observed, “So I guess you had no problem at the airport.”Taison Graves summed up most comments with, “Posing with paid federal employees (ICE) and not the unpaid federal employees (TSA) who are there at the airport is certainly a choice…”
