Don't airports count as borders as well?

I thought that it was specifically international airports. I heard they were doing ICE raids in the town outside of Pittsburgh International Airport (Robinson, PA). I haven't seen any ICE personally in PGH but I've hear coworkers and friends talk about it.

Hey neighbor! They're down here in wheeling, wv also. Wheeling sorta has an airport, but its for small, private planes only, I believe. Stay safe...

technically, no, but airport security workers of all flavors can refer individuals to ICE if they deem it necessary
