The airport is among several that have declined to display the video from Secretary Noem. Airport officials cite their policy against showing content that could be viewed as political or partisan. The video reportedly blames Democrats for the ongoing federal government shutdown.

I visited Capital Region International Airport on Thursday where officials confirmed they would not be displaying a controversial video from the Department of Homeland Security.
The airport provided FOX 47 News with an official statement explaining its position on the matter.

The video in question features Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reportedly blaming Democrats for the current federal government shutdown.
Capital Region International is one of several airports across the country that have made the decision not to show the video to travelers passing through their facilities.
