As your neighbour peeking over the fence there is a lot of controversy over ICE and from where I stand it seems to be a split opinion.

I don’t keep up to date with all the altercations but read the ones that make it on MSN. I watched the Minneapolis shooting and while it’s absolutely tragic someone lost their life and people are up in arms, why didn’t she just

A. Not make a spectacle of herself and B. Just GTFO of the car when an officer pointing a gun at you tells you to get out.

Anyway, over the past year I have travelled to the US by air 3 times and never had a problem with security.

At the beginning of April I travelled to Atlanta. Days leading up to the flight I was really getting nervous about the government shut down, line ups and ICE running security. I almost cancelled my trip.

Thankfully TSA staff got paid 2 days before I left. ICE was still in full force when I got there and when I was leaving. Again, no issues with ICE or security staff. I will also add that I travel with a US travel waiver for a criminal record I stupidly acquired 30 years ago so I should really be a candidate for a closer look but everyone was quite friendly and polite.

Just wondering what the masses that are just regular Americans think.
