Travelers at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport are now facing a hellish travel episode as many struggle with long waiting lines due to security and partial government shutdown.
Dizzying images from one of the country's busiest airports had security lines going further than baggage claims of the airport on both Saturday and Sunday.
The estimated waiting times reached 153 minutes, as per a traveler. One person could be heard yelling that the line is wrapping around baggage claim, referring to the matter as pure insanity.
Matt Van Swol shared through the X app that after arriving at the airport at about 6 am, the staggeringly long lines at the Georgia hub and other airports around the nation triggered the president on Sunday to order ICE agents to be deployed starting Monday to assist in clearing them out.
