President Donald Trump said Saturday he would deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to U.S. airports as early as Monday if Democrats do not agree to fund the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration, escalating a growing standoff in Congress.
“If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president said the effort would include “the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country,” signaling a more aggressive enforcement posture tied directly to the funding dispute, NBC News v.
