HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — As long security lines continue at airports across the country, ABC News has confirmed ICE agents will be deployed to Houston.
At Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the TSA line wait time reached 220 minutes at some points on Sunday.
TSA agents have either quit or called out sick over the past couple of weeks as they continue to work without pay due to the partial government shutdown.
Multiple sources told ABC News that ICE agents would be deployed to 14 airports across the country, including Bush and Hobby airports.
See full list below:
Chicago-O’Hare International Airport
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport
Houston’s Bush intercontinental
John F. Kennedy International Airport (New York)
LaGuardia Airport (New York)
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport
Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (San Juan, Puerto Rico)
Newark Liberty International Airport
Philadelphia International Airport
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport
Pittsburgh International Airport
Southwest Florida International Airport (Fort Myers, Florida)
“If we can bring in other assets and tools to assist TSA to get rid of these lines, yeah, I think that makes a lot of sense,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in an interview with ABC News.
TSA saw the highest call-out rate of TSA officers at airports on Saturday, about 11.5% of the scheduled workforce, according to TSA data obtained by ABC News.
On Sunday, George Bush Intercontinental Airport posted on X that CLEAR will not operate on Monday and that TSA PreCheck will only be available in Terminals A, C, and E and will close at 10:30 a.m.
As of 7 a.m. Monday, only three of eight standard and pre-check checkpoints were open at IAH.
Travelers can check TSA wait times and flight information on the Houston Airport System website.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Warm weather continues in this new week, but eventually the air should cool off ahead of some increasing rain chances near the end of the month.
Temperatures Monday morning should start off in the upper 50s and low 60s. Patchy dense fog could develop for the morning drive. Once the fog burns off, abundant sunshine will push temperatures back into the mid 80s. This basic pattern will continue on Tuesday, expect more clouds will mean it won’t get as warm in the afternoon.
When will it cool down again?
We do have a weak cool front penciled in to arrive late Friday or early Saturday. This will cool off temperatures to near normal for Saturday and Sunday. At this time of year, average highs are in the mid 70s and average lows are in the mid 50s.
When can we expect more rain?
The best we can offer up this week is a 10% chance on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday when the cool front arrives. About 10 days from now we expect a pattern change that will allow Pacific storm systems to move through Texas and the southern Plains. This will bring a chance of storm weather around the turn of the month, and we will have to monitor the sky in early April for the possibility of severe weather.
Are we expecting any more frosty mornings or light freezes before summer?
Nope. It looks like we are done with that risk until next fall.

Visitors to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo can learn more about agriculture and horticulture at Agventure, an educational exhibit inside NRG Center. The exhibit runs through March 22 and offers hands-on learning opportunities about farming, gardening and the environment.
At the exhibit, Harris County Master GardenerIvonne Zaldivar shares tips with visitors about gardening, native plants and the importance of pollinators.
“We just want people to help themselves get some information and educate themselves about all our native plants and what they can grow in their backyard,” Zaldivar said.

Ramirez explained that native plants are species naturally adapted to the local climate and soil conditions.
“Native plants are any plants that thrive in our environment,” she said. “Houston has a very harsh climate. We either have a very hot sun or a very tough winter. Our native plants usually thrive in our types of environments and our soils, and they always come back year after year.”
Because of their resilience, Ramirez said many native plants can be a good option for beginners, especially those interested in supporting pollinators.
Native plants for beginner gardeners
“Native plants for beginners — it depends on what you want to do,” she said. “If you want to try pollinators, I would go with some Turk’s cap, probably some Texas sage. There are other types of sage as well — maybe some primrose, some bluebonnets.”

Several native flowering plants that grow well in the Houston area and attract pollinators include Turk’s cap, Texas sage, Texas lantana, evening primrose, Texas bluebonnets, firewheel or Indian blanket (Gaillardia pulchella), black-eyed Susans and purple coneflowers. These plants provide nectar and habitat for bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects.
Ramirez noted that many native plants are beginner-friendly because they often return year after year either on their own or through self-seeding.
“Perennial natives usually come back every year,” Zaldivar said. “You just have to basically prune them at the end of the season, and right in spring they usually come back.”

Supporting the vital role of pollinators
She also emphasized the vital role pollinators play in the ecosystem and food supply.
“Without our pollinators, we wouldn’t be able to grow any food,” she said. “They’re very small. We have the bees, we have the butterflies, we have moths, and I think we need to focus on all pollinators and not just one.”
In addition to native plants, other popular flowers that tend to perform well in Houston’s climate include zinnias, cosmos, lantana and salvia, which can add color to gardens while supporting pollinators.
For people preparing their gardens this spring, Ramirez said getting started can be simple.
Ready, set, and plant this spring
“What you can start doing is go to your local home garden,” she said. “Get your native plants, get some mulch, and just plant them in the ground right now.”

Robert Mueller, who led the Federal Bureau of Investigation after the September 11 attacks and later served as special counsel in the Russia probe, has died at 81, his family announced.
Career of Public Service
Mueller was the FBI’s second-longest serving director, appointed by George W. Bush in 2001. He oversaw a major shift toward counterterrorism following 9/11 and later stayed beyond his term at the request of Barack Obama.
A Marine veteran of the Vietnam War, Mueller earned multiple honors, including the Purple Heart, before building a long career as a federal prosecutor.
Russia Investigation and Legacy
In 2017, he was appointed special counsel to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election, including ties to Donald Trump’s campaign. His 2019 report found no criminal conspiracy between the campaign and Russia.
Mueller was widely regarded as a disciplined and principled leader. He is survived by his wife, two daughters and five grandchildren.
The standoff comes after Democrats blocked multiple GOP-backed funding bills, demanding policy changes to immigration enforcement. Republicans have rejected those conditions, leaving key agencies like Transportation Security Administration and Federal Emergency Management Agency underfunded.
Trump said ICE could take on expanded security and immigration enforcement roles at airports, though specifics remain unclear.
Impact on Travelers and Workers
The shutdown has already hit airport operations nationwide. Thousands of TSA workers have missed paychecks, and travelers are reporting long lines and delays.
Ongoing Negotiations
Talks continued this week, led by border adviser Tom Homan, with lawmakers signaling some progress but no deal yet.
Meanwhile, Senate leaders including John Thune and Chuck Schumer remain divided, with Democrats pushing for immediate TSA funding while broader immigration negotiations continue.
Heavy storms—marking the second major rain event in a week—have caused widespread flooding across the island. Authorities say more than 230 people have already been rescued from life-threatening conditions, with search and rescue operations ongoing in hard-hit areas like Haleiwa and Waialua.
Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi described the damage as “catastrophic,” with dozens, possibly hundreds, of homes impacted.
Evacuations and Dam Concerns
Around 5,500 residents have been evacuated as a precaution near the Wahiawa Dam. Governor Josh Green said the dam remains stable for now but is being closely monitored as water levels approach critical thresholds.
Officials previously warned the dam was at “imminent risk of failure,” though water levels have since begun to trend downward.
Ongoing Weather Threats
Rain is expected to continue across Hawaii, with an additional 2 to 7 inches forecast in some areas. Strong winds up to 45 mph could down trees and power lines, worsening already dangerous conditions.
Meanwhile, parts of the Big Island face a separate winter storm warning, with up to 10 inches of snow and wind gusts reaching 70 mph at higher elevations.
Widespread Damage Across Hawaii
Flooding has damaged homes, roads, schools, and critical infrastructure. On Maui, at least one hospital evacuated patients due to flood impacts. Early estimates suggest total damages could exceed $1 billion.
Emergency crews, including the National Guard, remain deployed statewide as officials urge residents to stay alert and follow evacuation orders.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo set a new record on Saturday with the Grand Champion Junior Steer selling for $1.5 million.
The Grand Champion steer, Zinger, was raised by Mason Grady of John County 4-H. Grady is a five-time exhibitor at the Houston rodeo, with his family participating in the event for more than two decades.
When asked if he got any sleep the night before after being crowned Grand Champion, Grady replied, “Practically none! I mean, how can you sleep after something as amazing as that!”
Zinger was sold for a new Rodeo record of $1.5 million to Trinity River Land & Cattle Company. Stephen Kolek, who represented Trinity River Land & Cattle Co., said the group was proud to support youth through the livestock auction.
“We are proud of what we can do to support young students’ futures,” Kolek said.
The Reserve Grand Champion steer also set a new record for RodeoHouston on Saturday. The steer, named Ryan, was raised by Jett Hale of Miami FFA and was sold for $750,000.
Hale, repeat top exhibitor at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, said the moment was just as meaningful as previous years.
“It doesn’t get old at all,” Hale said. “This experience is incredible.”
The donors on the Reserve Grand Champion lot were Laura and Steve McNear, Lisa and Chris Cunningham, and Barbara and Don Jordan.
Since its beginning in 1932, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has committed more than $660 million to the youth of Texas and education through its various auctions and events.
“It’s incredible to see everybody supporting us,” Hale said, expressing gratitude to donors and the broader Rodeo community. “We’d like to thank each and every one of you.”
