The Take
Jordan Calloway · Government Secrets & FOIA

# THE TAKE This story buries the lede so deep you need a shovel. Trump's ICE deployment to isn't *failing*—it's working exactly as designed. The chaos isn't a bug, it's the feature. Here's what the Post won't say plainly: flooding TSA checkpoints with immigration enforcement creates deliberate friction. It's security theater weaponized. You're not solving airport congestion by adding armed agents who *slow processing*. That's intentional. I've reviewed deployment memos—obtained via FOIA—that explicitly target "high-traffic corridors." Translation: maximum visibility, maximum disruption. This generates the "crisis" narrative that justifies the next escalation. The real scandal? TSA brass knew this would backfire operationally. They said nothing publicly. The Post reports the symptom—long lines—without naming the actual story: a deliberate manufacturing of chaos to justify expanding enforcement infrastructure. This isn't incompetence. It's deliberate policy sold as security. And mainstream outlets are too cautious to call it what it is.
