Status Coup has been reporting ON THE GROUND covering ICE TERROR for nearly a year in LA, NYC, Alligator Alcatraz, Chicago, Charlotte, & Minneapolis. It has cost us over $70,000 between staff and travel—and no other outlet is doing this kind of in-the-trenches reporting.

On-again, off-again Trump whisperer Steve Bannon—who’s largely received a pass from corporate media for revelations that he tried engineering a public relations makeover for disgraced child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein—is leading the charge of MAGA world figures ecstatic about ICE terrorism moving into America’s airports.
And he’s demanding it be a test run for ICE to occupy election polling booths this Novemeber (watch our JT Cestkowksi report in the video above).
“We can use this as a test run, as a test case, to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterms,” Bannon said on his podcast, adding that ICE parading around airports is “perfect training” for the midterms because they are “trained to, wait for it, check IDs.”
He praised Emperor Trump for the “brilliant” move.
Our videojournalist Jon Farina reported from JFK Airport in NYC on Monday—one of 14 airports Trump has deployed his masked secret police to in order to “assist” with Trump-caused airport delays. Farina observed ICE agents, dressed in military fatigues, doing everything from hovering over passengers stuck on security lines to doing a whole lot of standing around twiddling their thumbs.

And in one bizarre scene, an ICE agent held a baby at the front of the security line (see photo below).
There was also, unsurprisingly, more terror unleashed by Trump’s secret police—as I reported, ICE agents dressed in street hoodies violently arrested a passenger at San Francisco International Airport on Sunday—with her young daughter sobbing in front of her.
Status Coup will continue covering this ICE terror ON-THE-GROUND across America. We also plan on being LIVE ON THE GROUND to cover nationwide No Kings Day protests on Saturday, March 28th in Minnesota, Chicago, and possible elsewhere. We are independently funded and need to grow our small-dollar paid subscribers in order to continue funding this critically important reporting.
