Rick Brattin for Congress
[March 22, 2026]

I fully support President Trump’s decision to send ICE agents to Kansas City International Airport (KCI) or any other airport across the nation.
While Democrats in Congress — including Sen. Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi & Rep. Emanuel Cleaver — continue to play political games and refuse to properly fund the Department of Homeland Security and TSA, American travelers are facing longer lines, delays, and real security risks.
President Trump is taking action to keep our skies safe and our country secure. It’s time to stop the partisan obstruction and put America First.

“…I fully support President Trump’s decision to send ICE agents to Kansas City International Airport (KCI)…” To do what? Lean against the wall and get paid?

Uh, it’s MCI.

From the FAA:

Kansas City International Airport (MCI)

Kansas City International Airport (MCI) located 15 miles northwest of downtown Kansas City, Missouri, predominantly hosts commercial air carrier operations. [….]

From the Kansas City [Missouri] Aviation Department:

[…..] The Kansas City Aviation Department owns and operates Kansas City International Airport (MCI) […..]
