MAGA influencer Steve Bannon argued that President Donald Trump deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to airports as a "5-D chess" move that would prepare them to police polling places in the 2026 midterm elections. For his part, Trump has said the ICE agents are there to "help" Transportation Security Administration officers during the partial government shutdown.

"The ICE agents at the airports to help out, and remember they said they're not going to work the x-rays, it's too complicated, they're not trained for it, but they're trained to — wait for it — check IDs," Bannon said on the Monday edition of War Room.
