Under direction from the White House, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) plans to divert more than 600 workers from airport security to enforce immigration policies along the southern border.
Meanwhile, several airport security vulnerabilities identified in numerous reports by the inspector general and Government Accountability Office remain unresolved, lawmakers heard on Tuesday at a hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
The hearing was intended to raise questions about the security reports and why they remain unresolved, and whether they were affected by Donald Trump's drive to secure the southern border against illegal immigration.
