I've got to wonder if the dynamic is something more like when the media focuses people on ICE, people fit enough of the ICE-propaganda in their head to assuage the cognitive dissonance about supporting an organization that summarily executes Americans. Whereas when the media focuses people on the TSA, that's a whole different set of TSA-propaganda to fit, supporting the idea that TSA itself is a worthy endeavor. But when the issues are tied together, people can't fit both sets of rationalizations in their heads at the same time, so interest in supporting ICE drops.
