President Donald Trump again pushed his plan to send ICE agents to airports on Saturday afternoon. He said the agents will begin helping with security at airports starting Monday. In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed the move is necessary because the “Fascist Democrats will never protect America,” and he told ICE to “GET READY.”
This post came a day after the Senate rejected a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security for the fifth time on Friday.
This has led to a partial government shutdown that is affecting agencies like TSA and ICE.
In his post, Trump started by saying, “The Radical Left Democrats have hurt so many people with their vicious and uncaring ways.”
He criticized the actions of the Democrats toward the Department of Homeland Security, TSA officers, and the people of the country, calling it an “absolute disgrace.”
He continued:
If the Democrats do not allow for Just and Proper Security at our Airports, and elsewhere throughout our Country, ICE will do the job far better than ever done before! The Fascist Democrats will never protect America, but the Republicans will.
Just like the Radical Left allowed millions of Criminals to pour into our Country through their ridiculous and dangerous Open Border Policy, the Republicans closed it all down, and we now have the Strongest Border in American History. Likewise, I look forward to moving ICE in on Monday, and have already told them to, “GET READY.” NO MORE WAITING, NO MORE GAMES! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Shortly after, Trump talked about his plan to use ICE for airport security.
He said the immigration agents will perform “like no one has ever seen before” at the airports and will focus on finding illegal immigrants, especially those from Somalia. He also criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for the fraud claims that have affected their state.
The Hill reported on Friday that Democrats have refused to support any funding bill for ICE unless it includes reforms.
