From Fox News: A Brooklyn man went viral for his take on the deployment of ICE agents to airports nationwide to assist TSA agents as the DHS shutdown consequences played out over the last several weeks.
Chris Scali briefly spoke with News 12 at Newark Liberty International Airport, saying ICE agents were “good” and not bothering anyone — comments that quickly gained widespread attention online.
The sports betting influencer of “Sports By Scal” on YouTube said a friend texted him the interview, telling him it was all over X, which Scali does not have. He said many people were sending him the clip.

Fox News Digital interviewed Scali on Thursday while he at his destination in the Bahamas.
“I walked into the airport, I saw a very small line and all I thought was, Now I gotta be here for three hours,” said Scali. “I started seeing the ICE agents walk, and I was like, they just look like they’re here to help.”
“I mean, the last I knew, people were scared to go to airports years ago,” he continued. “The more safety, security, the better. That’s just the way I feel. I don’t really care who was there to help.”
“As long as everything goes smooth in the airport and everyone gets on their planes — God bless,” he added.
