Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

Two checkpoints at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport have experienced wait times exceeding four hours following an arrival by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

According to reports, travelers are advised to arrive three hours prior to their scheduled departure. The airport has closed two security checkpoints, resulting in long lines at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

Separately, ICE agents were deployed to New Orleans’ Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, where problems have been reported across the facility.

Additionally, a similar situation occurred at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, where wait times reached up to nine hours and lines extended out of the airport. The cause of this issue is attributed to the closure of two security checkpoints.

These incidents highlight the challenges faced by travelers in recent days due to increased security measures.
