IND airport travelers react to ICE to help TSA Monday
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Staring Monday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will assist TSA airports across the country. A budget battle in congress is keeping TSA from getting paid, creating staffing issues.
Many travelers that spoke with News 8 say they weren’t expecting to see ICE during their Spring travel. Some say they are hopeful it could ease the long wait times. Others say it raises new concerns while traveling.
“TSA definitely needs some help right now, but what kind of security are [ICE] going to provide?” Hugo Lopez, who was traveling through the Indianapolis International Airport said. “Is it the same type of security they are doing in Minneapolis? You know, where even U.S. citizens are going to be concerned about now having the right paperwork.”
ICE is expected to support TSA teams at select airports, but they have not announced which airports ICE officers will be assigned to, other than the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
“They might be sent here to do something positive,” traveler Ade Yemi said. “They may end up doing something negative to a lot of people. I am just not one for it.”
Despite potential shorter wait times, many travelers told News 8, it’s not worth it.
“I mean regardless of the line, people have been able to navigate and get to their destination,” Yemi said. “I would like to keep it business as usual.”
“Personally, I would wait in the line because right now the problem is more economical than political,” Lopez said. “When I came out of El Paso, I thanked the TSA agent. I said ‘I appreciate what you guys are doing. You aren’t getting paid, but you are still here on the front lines.’”
Lopez says he would feel more comfortable with ICE around, under one circumstance, “If ICE personelle were to come here, probably without guns,” Lopez said. “People would feel safer around them. There is no need for them and there is already so many police forces here. We don’t need another federal entity with guns blazing.”
Federal officials have indicated that this task for ICE is not intended to conduct immigration enforcement activities. ICE is only meant to help with crowd control.

See the Wienermobiles and crew at the Wienie 500 at IMS for Carb Day
We grilled the crew of these Wienermobiles and even got a tour as they relished in the chance to race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
A pair of 2000s alternative rock favorites are slated to kick off the festivities ringing in the world’s largest single-day sporting event.
Counting Crows will headline the 2026 Miller Lite Carb Day Concert on May 22, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway announced. Fellow rockers Switchfoot will open the show at the IMS, kicking off the weekend festivities for the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500.
Carb Day admission tickets start at $50 and are on sale at ims.com. Purchase admits entry to the traditional Carb Day proceedings, including the final practice for drivers and the annual Pit Stop Competition, as well as the show later in the evening.
Pit wristbands, which allow for closer access to the concert, start at $40. A wristband, however does not allow for admission to the concert on its own. Purchase of a Carb Day admission ticket is required to attend the show. Carb Day admission and pit wristband combo packages are available starting at $90.

Counting Crows rose to prominence in the 1990s with hits like “Mr. Jones” off their smash 1993 debut album “August and Everything After.” They maintained notoriety into the millennium with a string of successful releases punctuated by the 2004 single “Accidentally in Love,” which remains a collective favorite off the “Shrek 2” soundtrack.
Switchfoot, the Crows’ alternative compatriots, enjoyed similar success in the early 2000s. “Meant To Live” and a re-record of popular single “Dare You to Move” emerged as enduring tracks off the group’s 2004 album “The Beautiful Letdown.”
The two bands join past headliners like last year’s double bill of All American Rejects and Bret Michaels, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rick Springfield, Journey and many others in the concert’s 34-year history. The 2026 event will mark both groups’ inaugural Carb Day performance.
Counting Crows and Switchfoot join popular EDM artist Zedd as the confirmed headliners for this year’s Indy 500 entertainment. The German producer will lead up the crop of DJs scheduled for the Snake Pit on race day, May 24.
The annual Legends Day Concert, traditionally featuring country artists, has not yet announced its headliner. The show is set for May 23 at Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park.
