    The ICE agents arrived after she was gone. Laurie recognized two of them from an earlier encounter. About 10 minutes later, one approached her, showed his badge and asked whether she could confirm that the passenger had checked in. Laurie refused, telling him airline employees could not provide passenger information.

    As the flight neared final boarding, another ICE officer accused Laurie of interfering with the operation and pressed her to help locate the passenger. Laurie declined to say whether the woman was on the flight’s passenger list and told the officer he would need to contact the airline’s corporate security department for information. “You’re going to need a subpoena,” she said. No arrests were made at the gate that day.

    Legend.

    Unfortunately I worry that ICE is going to target Laurie in some way now :/

      In other words, an ICE officer tried to enslave her into government service.
