Is my understanding correct that TSA agents operate departures and CBP arrivals and that it’s only the TSA agents that aren’t getting paid and are being ‘helped’ by ICE?

If anyone (who isn’t American) has experienced longer than usual waits/lines to get into the US please let me know.
You might also check to see whether you qualify for using Mobile Passport Control; some non-Americans do.
