Airline workers reportedly decline to help US agents as Trump migrant crackdown accelerates

{"#TSA-ICE-Cooperation":"The collaboration between TSA and ICE has led to a dramatic increase in daily arrests at US airports. In March, the New York Times reported that up to three dozen arrests were made per day. This cooperation is part of a broader policy shift by DHS aimed at detaining individuals with pending immigration applications.","#Airline-Worker-Reactions":"In response to this increased enforcement, airline workers have begun declining assistance from federal agents. Southwest Airlines, for instance, reported that an ICE agent attempted to board a plane in search of a target but was denied entry due to lack of legal documentation. The Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) has raised concerns about the safety and legality of such actions.","#Legal-And-Safety-Concerns":"The AFA president, Sara Nelson, wrote a letter to carriers expressing worries over potential escalation and unsafe conditions for bystanders or airline employees during these encounters. She emphasized that TSA and ICE's actions have created significant workplace, legal, and safety concerns."}
